Practice objective / multiple choice question 18 from the 2019 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A motor supplies \(5\text{ kW}\) at \(1500\text{ rpm}\) to a conveyor system through a gear train. The driver gear attached to the motor shaft has a diameter of \(0.20\text{ m}\) and drives a larger gear of diameter \(0.50\text{ m}\) on the conveyor shaft. The overall mechanical efficiency of the drive is \(85\%\). The belt that drives the conveyor wraps a pulley of radius \(0.10\text{ m}\) on the conveyor shaft.
