Normal Reaction between Belt and Sides of Groove Calculator

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

• Total Reaction in Plane of Groove (R) = 15 N
• Angle of Groove (β) = 0.52 rad

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.
