The length of a belt around three pulleys 2011-05-18
From Grant:
I need to calculate the belt length around these pulleys, please can you help or refer me?

Known variables
D - Large Pulley Diameter
d - Small Pulley Diameter
c - Center Distance between D and d
T - Tension Pulley Diameter
x - Horizontal Distance between T and d' Centers
y - Vertical Distance between T and d's Centers
I need to calculate the belt length around these pulleys.


Kind Regards,
Grant

From Neven:
A woman raises a bucket of cement to a platform 40 ft above her head by means of a rope 80 ft long that passes over a pulley on the platform. If she holds her end of the rope firmly at head level and walks away at 5ft/s, how fast is the bucket rising when she is 30 ft away from the spot directly below the pulley? (G. F. Simmons, Calculus with Analytic Geometry, pg.142)

A dead fly is stuck to a belt that passes over two pulleys 2009-03-21
From Jules:
A dead fly is stuck to a belt that passes over two pulleys 6 inches and 8 inches in radius. Assuming no slippage,how fast is the fly moving when the large pulley (8 inches) makes 21 revolutions per second ? How many revolutions per second does the small pulley make ? How long will it take the dead fly to travel 1 mile ?

Pulleys and belts 2006-10-31
From Lynn:

A belt has a linear speed of 32 mph. It is spinning three pulleys.
Pulley A has diameter 14 in. radius = 7 inches
Pulley B has diameter 26 in. radius = 13 inches
Pulley C has radius 3 ft. radius = 36 inches

Angular speed in Radians per min for
I got
Pulley A= .08 rads/min Pulley B= .04 rads/min Pulley C=.01 rads/min

How many cm would pulley C travel in 14 seconds?

Calculating the belt length of a three pulley system 2006-07-16
From Mark:
I have a 3 pulley system with sides abc and pulleys ABC. Pulley A has radius of 10cm, pulley B has radius of 20cm, and pulley C has radius of 3cm. The side lengths are: (center to center of pulleys) between pulleys AB = 75cm, between pulleys BC = 100cm, and between pulleys AC = 50cm. I set these side lengths up as (according to law of sines and cosines) a = 100cm, b = 50cm, and c = 75cm. What is the length of the belt required for this system? I need to know how I would set this problem up and solve.

A belt around two pulleys 2004-12-07
From Ian:
a belt is stretched around two pulleys whose centers are d units apart and whose radii are R and r respectively (obviously R+r<d). the challenge is to find the length of the belt, l as a formula in terms of R, r, and d only.

Angular velocity 2000-05-24
From Ashley Milliman:
The crankshaft of a particular automobile engine has an angular velocity of 1,500 rpm at 30 mph. The crankshaft pulley has a diameter of 10 cm, and it's attached to an air conditioner compressor pulley with a 7 cm diameter and an alternator pulley with a 5 cm diamter

At what angular velocities do the compressor and alternator turn?
