The ratio of belt tensions $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_1}}}{{{{\text{p}}_2}}}$$ considering centrifugal force in flat belt is given by where,
m = mass of belt per meter (kg/m)
v = belt velocity (m/s)
f = coefficient of friction
$$\alpha $$ = angle of wrap (radians)

A. $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_1} - {\text{m}}{{\text{v}}^2}}}{{{{\text{p}}_2} - {\text{m}}{{\text{v}}^2}}} = {{\text{e}}^{{\text{f}}\alpha }}$$

B. $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_1}}}{{{{\text{p}}_2}}} = {{\text{e}}^{{\text{f}}\alpha }}$$

C. $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_1}}}{{{{\text{p}}_2}}} = {{\text{e}}^{ - {\text{f}}\alpha }}$$

D. $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_1} - {\text{m}}{{\text{v}}^2}}}{{{{\text{p}}_2} - {\text{m}}{{\text{v}}^2}}} = {{\text{e}}^{ - {\text{f}}\alpha }}$$
