Design an open flat belt drive to transmit 110kW for a system of two pulleys of diameters 0.9m and 1.2m, centre distance of 3.6m, a belt speed 20m/s, coefficient of friction 0.3, a slip of 1.2% at each pulley and 5% friction loss at each shaft, 20% overload. Assume a density of 1000kg/m³ for the belt material, a thickness of 0.015m and an allowable stress of 2.5MN/m²
