rpm, compensator started. A medium double leather belt, 10 in. wide is used; C 54 in.; D1 =14
in . (motor), D2 = 54 in., both iron. (a) What horsepower, may this belt transmit? (b) For this
power, compute the stress from the general belt equation. (c) For this stress, what is F1/ F2? (d) If
the belt has stretched until s 200 psi on the tight side, what is F1/F2? (e) Compute the belt
length.

A motor is driving a centrifugal compressor through a 6-in. heavy, single-ply leather belt in a
dusty location. The 8-in motor pulley turns 1750 rpm; D2 = 12 in (compressor shaft); C 5 ft.
The belt has been designed for a net belt pull of F1 – F2 = 40 lb/in of width and F1/ F2 .
Compute (a) the horsepower, (b) the stress in tight side. (c) For this stress, what needed value of f
is indicated by the general belt equation?
An exhaust fan in a wood shop is driven by a belt from a squirrel-cage motor that runs at 880
