Consider the low RPM case as shown below, where the driven pulley is centered about point A and has a radius of 25 cm and frictional coefficient of friction μ. Let ϕ = 30∘ and θ = 15∘. If the tension of the tensed segment, T, of the belt is 1500 N, find the minimum value of μ required for the tension on the slacked segment, S, of the belt does not fall below 500 N.

Consider the low RPM case as shown below, where the driven pulley is centered about point A and has a radius of 25 c m and frictional coefficient of friction μ . Let ϕ = 30 and θ = 15 . If the tension of the tensed segment, T , of the belt is 1500 N , find the minimum value of μ required for the tension on the slacked segment, S , of the belt does not fall below 500 N.
