The centrifugal tension in belts
A. Decreases the power transmitted
B. Increases the power transmitted
C. Increase the wrap angle
D. Increases the belt tension without increasing power transmission
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The centrifugal tension in belts increases the belt tension without increasing power transmission.Key Points:
Centrifugal Tension: This tension is caused by the rotation of the belt and acts to stretch it.
Effect: While it increases the overall belt tension, it does not contribute to the power transmitted between the driving and driven pulleys.
Impact on Power Transmission: The centrifugal tension can reduce the effective tension available for power transmission because it adds to the total belt tension, which can affect the belt’s grip and efficiency.
