However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will not
prevent motion if sufficiently large forces are applied.
There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid
friction. Fluid friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The
present discussion is limited to dry friction between nonlubricated
surfaces.

SOLUTION:
Since angle of contact is smaller,
slippage will occur on pulley B first.
Determine belt tensions based on
pulley B.
Taking pulley A as a free-body, sum
moments about pulley center to
A flat belt connects pulley A to pulley B. determine torque.
The coefficients of friction are s = 0.25
and k = 0.20 between both pulleys and
the belt.
Knowing that the maximum allowable
tension in the belt is 600 lb, determine
the largest torque which can be exerted
by the belt on pulley A.
