In a flat belt drive, the belt can be subjected to a maximum tension (T) and centrifugal tension (Tc). The condition of transmission of maximum power is given by

  • A. T = Tc
  • B. T = 2Tc
  • C. T = 3Tc
  • D. T = \sqrt{3}Tc

Answer: C. T = 3Tc

Explanation: For maximum power, centrifugal tension is 1/3rd of maximum tension.
