A motor at 24 rev/s rotates the smaller pulley. If the maximum belt tension
is 1 Kn, determine the coefficient of friction between belt and pulley that is
required to transmit 1 KW of power.

3. A flat belt drive system consists of two parallel pullets and is installed
with an initial tension of 500N.
Determine the tension in the belts when the system is operating if the
coefficient of friction between belt and pulley is 0.3 and angle of lap with
the smaller of the two pulleys is 165°.

4. A multiple disc clutch has four pairs of contact surfaces, each with an
inner radius of 120mm and an external radius of 240mm. Assuming the
uniform pressure condition, determine the force necessary to press the
contact surfaces together is a torque of 150 Nm is to be transmitted. The
coefficient of friction between the surfaces is 0.3.

5. A multi-plate disc clutch is required to transmit a torque of 320Nm. The
inner and outer radii of the contact surfaces are to be 50mm and 75mm
respectively.
Assuming a uniform pressure of 150kPa and a coefficient of friction
between the surfaces of 0.25, determine the end thrust and the number of
discs that will be required.

7. A simple gear train with a gear ratio of 10:1 has one gear wheel with 24
teeth rotating with an angular velocity of 30 rad/s. Find the:
ω a = 30 rad / s
ω b = ω a × 1 = 3 rad / s

7.2 number of teeth on the driven gear wheel
Because I know the gear ratio is 10:1 and there is 24 teeth on the driver this means
there will be 240 teeth on the driven.
