Calculate the Length of a Pulley belt that has a central distance of 50cm between the two pulley and the diameter of the two pulley is 14cm

1 answer

To calculate the length of the pulley belt, we first need to calculate the circumference of each pulley. The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is:

Circumference = π * diameter

For each pulley with a diameter of 14cm:

Circumference = π * 14
Circumference = 43.98229715 cm

Next, we need to calculate the total length of the belt. Since the belt is essentially wrapped around both pulleys, we need to add the circumference of both pulleys along with the central distance between them:

Total length of belt = 2 * Circumference + Central distance

Total length of belt = 2 * 43.98229715 + 50
Total length of belt = 87.9645943 + 50
Total length of belt = 137.9645943 cm

Therefore, the length of the pulley belt is approximately 137.96 cm.
