A motor supplies a torque of 12 N·m at a speed of 1500 rpm to gear A (20 teeth). Gear A meshes with gear B (40 teeth) on the same shaft as gear C (15 teeth). Gear C drives gear D (45 teeth) which is fixed to a conveyor belt. The efficiency of the A-B mesh is 90 % and that of the C-D mesh is 85 %. Determine (a) the speed of the conveyor belt in revolutions per minute, and (b) the useful mechanical power transmitted to the conveyor (in kilowatts).

Answer Options

A. Conveyor speed = 200 rpm; useful power ≈ 1.20 kW
B. Conveyor speed = 250 rpm; useful power ≈ 1.20 kW
Correct Answer C. Conveyor speed = 250 rpm; useful power ≈ 1.44 kW
D. Conveyor speed = 300 rpm; useful power ≈ 1.80 kW
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Conveyor speed = 250 rpm; useful power ≈ 1.44 kW
