Design a flat belt drive system for the following specifications:

      Power to be transmitted = 100 kW

      Pulley diameters = 0.8 m and 1 m, respectively

      Centre distance between the pulleys = 3 m

      Belt speed = 20 m/s

      Coefficient of friction between the belt and pulleys = 0.3

      Slip = 1.2% at each pulley

      Friction loss at each shaft = 5%

      Overload capacity = 20%

      Density of leather belt material = 1000 kg/m3

      Safe stress for the belt = 2.5 MPa

      Thickness of the belt = 12 to 16 mm

      Take into account the effect of centrifugal tension.

      Find the width and the length of the belt.

      Draw a schematic diagram of the belt drive.
