The agricultural machine is powered by an electric motor through a flat belt system. The machine requires 6 flat belts and 40 kW power to operate at a speed of 350 rpm. The pulley diameter of the machine is 650 mm and the pulley of the electric motor is 330 mm. The centre distance between the pulleys is 1100 mm. The belt speed is not to exceed 30 m/s. Calculate the tensions in the belt.
