Question

The following particulars apply to an inclined belt conveyor:

Length of conveyor (loading end to discharge end): 100 m
Speed of belt: 1,5 m/s
Angle of wrap around driving pulley: 220 degrees
Coefficient of friction between belt and driving pulley: 0,3
 Mass of rock conveyed (mass flow rate): 300 t/h
The discharge end is 22 m higher than the loading end. The total friction is equivalent to a force of 6,5 kN in the belt at the head pulley. The efficiency of the drive is 90%.

4.2.1 Calculate the power of the motor. 
4.2.2 Calculate the minimum tension in the slack side of the belt as it leaves the driving pulley
