A flat open belt drive is used to transmit a power of 25kW from a motor shaft rotating at 950 rpm. The radius of the pulley of the motor shaft is 125mm while the radius of the puller of the driven shaft is 450mm. The center distance between the shafts is 2,250mm. the coefficient of friction is 0.25 and the density of the belt material is 950 kg/m^3. The belt width is 126 mm. The allowable stress is 2.6MPa. Determine the thickness of the belt.
