19. A belt conveyor has two pulleys; one 400 mm diameter and the other 250 mm diameter are on parallel shafts 1.4 m apart and are connected by an open belt. Find the length of the belt required and the angle of contact between the belt and each pulloy. What power can be transmitted by the belt when the larger pulley rotates at 130 rev/min, if the maximum permissible tension in the belt is 1.4 kN, and the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.25.
