Width of Belt given Maximum Belt Tension Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Belt Width = Maximum Tension in Belt/(Tensile Stress in Belt*Belt Thickness)
b = P_max/(σ*t)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Belt Width - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Width is defined as the width of the belt which we generally use in belt drives.
Maximum Tension in Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum Tension in Belt is the maximum amount of tensile force into the belt of a belt drive assembly.
Tensile Stress in Belt - (Measured in Pascal) - Tensile Stress in Belt is defined as the tensile stress generated in the belt during operation.
Belt Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Thickness is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Tension in Belt: 1200 Newton --> 1200 Newton No Conversion Required
Tensile Stress in Belt: 1.26 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 1260000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Belt Thickness: 5 Millimeter --> 0.005 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b = P_max/(σ*t) --> 1200/(1260000*0.005)

Evaluating ... ...

b = 0.19047619047619

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.19047619047619 Meter -->190.47619047619 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

190.47619047619 ≈ 190.4762 Millimeter <-- Belt Width
