This formula can be used only if belt, rope are about to slip;
Angle of contact is radians; rope is wrapped n times - 2n rad

A flat belt connects pulley A to pulley B. The
coefficients of friction are
s
= 0.25 and
k
= 0.20
between both pulleys and the belt.
Knowing that the maximum allowable tension in
the belt is 600 N, determine the largest torque
which can be exerted by the belt on pulley A.
Since angle of contact is smaller, slippage will occur on pulley B first.
Determine belt tensions based on pulley B; = 120 deg = 2/3 rad

A 120-kg block is supported by a rope which is
wrapped 1.5 - times around a horizontal rod.
Knowing that the coefficient of static friction
between the rope and the rod is 0.15, determine
the range of values of P for which equilibrium is
maintained.

In the pivoted motor mount shown, the weight W of
the 175-N motor is used to maintain tension in the
drive belt. Knowing that the coefficient of static
friction between the flat belt and drums A and B is
0.40, and neglecting the weight of platform CD,
determine the largest couple which can be
transmitted to drum B when the drive drum A is
rotating clockwise.
