Question 4
A horizontal conveyer belt moving at a uniform velocity of 1m/s transports a load at the rate of
50,000kg/hour. The belt is 160m long and is driven by a 960rpm motor. Determine the equivalent
rotational inertia at the motor shaft, Jm. (Assuming the reflected load inertia equals the motor inertia)
(Answer: Jm = 0.2198 kg.m2)
