Problem #2: A polyamide A-2 flat belt 8 in wide is used to transmit 10 hp under uniform conditions with Ks = 1.1, and a factor of safety equal or greater

than 1.2 is appropriate. The center-to center distance C = 6 ft. The driver is a 6 in pulley that rotates at 1750 rev/min in such a way that the loose side is on bottom. The driven pulley is 17 in diameter. A) Estimate the centrifugal force, F, in lbf B) Estimate the torque, T in lbf-in C) The allowable forces F₁ and F₂ in lbf D) The initial tension F; in lbf E) The allowable power H₂ in hp driven pulley D d driver pulley
