Determine the percentage increase in power capacity made possible by changing over from a flat belt drive to a V-belt drive. The diameter of the flat pulley is the same as the pitch diameter of the grooved pulley. The pulley rotates at the same speed as the V-belt pulley and is 0.25. The V-belt pulley groove angle is 65. The belts are made of the same material and have the same cross-sectional area. In each case, the angle of wrap is 120.
