Machine Design
The ratio of belt tensions (p1/p2) considering centrifugal force in flat belt is given byWhere m = mass of belt per meter (kg/m)v = belt velocity (m/s)f = coefficient of frictiona = angle of wrap (radians)

(P1 - mv²)/ (P2 - mv²) = e–ᶠα
P1 / P2 = eᶠα
(P1 - mv²)/ (P2 - mv²) = eᶠα
P1 / P2 = e–ᶠα

Machine Design
In a band and block brake, the ratio of tensions on the tight and slack sides of band is given by (where μ = Coefficient of friction between the blocks and the drum, θ = Semi-angle of each block subtending at the centre of drum, and n = Number of blocks)

T₁/T₂ = [(1 - μ tanθ)/ (1 + μ tanθ)]n
T₁/T₂ = (μθ)n
T₁/T₂ = μθ × n
T₁/T₂ = [(1 + μ tanθ)/ (1 - μ tanθ)]n
