Question
A synchronous belt is used in applications where: (a) a positive drive is required (b) the pulleys must rotate at the same speed (c) the belt is required to slip at a pre-determined speed (d) the shaft axes intersect at right angles
Step 1
A synchronous belt is designed to provide a positive drive, meaning it transmits power without slipping, ensuring that the input and output shafts maintain a fixed relationship. Show more…

A belt is pulled to the right between cylinders $A$ and $B$. Knowing that the speed of the belt is a constant $5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$ and no slippage occurs, determine $(a)$ the angular velocities of $A$ and $B,(b)$ the accelerations of the points which are in contact with the belt.
