An electric motor drives a compressor by use of V-belt. The angle of contact on the smaller pulley is 2.89 rad and the belt speed runs at 29.36 m/s. The groove angle of the pulleys is 35°.  Determine the tension in the slack side of the belt in N if the belt has a cross-sectional area of 366 mm2, density 1000 kg/m3, and an allowable tensile stress of 2.3 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.3
