MENAT1 markNeeds review
The braking system shown in the figure uses a belt to slow down a pulley rotating in the clockwise direction by the application of a force
. The belt wraps around the pulley over an angle
degrees. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.3. The influence of centrifugal forces on the belt is negligible.During braking, the ratio of the tensions
to
in the belt is equal to ________ . (Rounded off to two decimal places)Take
.
