The force balance in the tangential direction t gives :
, the above equation reduces to
...............................................................(A)
The force balance in the normal direction provides:
=................................................................ (B)
Application of Friction |
(3) Normal reaction of the pulley dN (4) Friction force If we assume that d T is positive, the belt has tendency to slip towards left. Hence, the friction force has the direction as shown in the figure. |
