The formula to calculate the Normal Reaction between Belt and Sides of Groove is:
\[ R_n = \frac{R}{2 \cdot \sin\left(\frac{\beta}{2}\right)} \]
Where:
Normal reaction between belt and sides of groove is the component of contact force normal to the surfaces in contact.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ R_n = \frac{15}{2 \cdot \sin\left(\frac{0.52}{2}\right)} \]
Evaluating:
\[ R_n = 29.1737354101614 \text{ N} \]
The Normal Reaction between Belt and Sides of Groove is 29.1737354101614 N.
