solve all 3. show all steps for given solutions 

A 1725 rpm electric motor is to be used to drive a "flat belt" conveyor in a manufacturing facility as shown
in the following figure. The conveyor must move "parts" along an assembly line at a rate of 9 ft/s. The
roller used to drive the conveyor belt has a diameter of 5 in. A roller chain is used to transfer power from
the electric motor to the conveyor drive roller. Answer the following questions based on this information.
i.) What is the rotational speed (rpm) of the driven sprocket?
ii.) If the "drive" sprocket on the motor has 12 teeth, How many teeth should be on the “driven”
sprocket which is connected to the flat belt drive roller (Round to the nearest tooth.)?
iii.) If the electric motor is producing 3/4 hp and there is a 5% power loss through the roller chain
drive system, what torque (ft lb) does the driven sprocket apply to the shaft of the flat belt drive
roller?
