Problem 7.61
The cross section of a rubber V belt is shown. If the belt has circular shape
about the axis of revolution with an inside radius of
6in:
, determine the volume
of material in the belt and the surface area of the belt.
2.0:25 in:/ .0:5 in:/D0:0625 in:2;(1)
3.0:5 in:/;Qr2D6in:C1
2.0:5 in:/(3)
Noting that the contributions from shapes 1 and 3 are the same, we employ the Pappus-Guldinus theorem,
doubling the first term, to obtain the volume of the belt as
i
which yields
VD12:8 in:3:(5)
To determine the surface area of the belt, the Pappus-Guldinus theorem will be used with the composite
lines shown in the second figure above, where
