When the belt is transmitting maximum power, the belt speed should be
(Where, m = mass of belt per meter (kg/m) and Pmax = maximum permissible tension in belt (N))

A. $$\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{P}}\max }}{{2{\text{m}}}}} $$

B. $$\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{P}}\max }}{{3{\text{m}}}}} $$

C. $$\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{P}}\max }}{{\text{m}}}} $$

D. $$\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{3m}}}}{{{\text{P}}\max }}} $$

Answer: Option B
