A blower is driven by an electric motor through a belt drive.  The motor runs at 750 r.p.m. For this power transmission a flat belt of 8 mm thickness and 250mm width is used.  The diameter of the motor pulley is 350 mm and that of the blower pulley 1350 mm. The centre distance between these pulleys is 1350 mm and an open belt configuration is adopted. The pulleys are made out of cast iron.  Frictional coefficient between belt and pulley is 0.35 and the permissible stress for the belt material can be taken as 25 kgf / cm2 with sufficient factor of safety. Belt weighs 2 kg / metre length. What is the maximum power transmitted without belt slipping in any one of the pulleys?
