Variables Used
Tension in Tight Side of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in tight side of belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object.
Tension in Slack Side of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in slack side of belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object.
Coefficient of Friction for Belt - Coefficient of Friction for Belt is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the brake pad in relation to the brake disc or drum in contact with it.
Angle of Contact - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of contact is the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Tension in Slack Side of Belt: 11 Newton --> 11 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction for Belt: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Contact: 0.17 Radian --> 0.17 Radian No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
T1 = T2*e^(μ*θcontact) --> 11*e^(0.2*0.17)
Evaluating ... ...
T1 = 11.3804306740093
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
11.3804306740093 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
11.3804306740093 11.38043 Newton <-- Tension in Tight Side of Belt

What is proper belt tension?

The proper tension is the lowest tension at which the belt won't slip or squeal under peak load. However, there is still a wide range of tension between these two extremes in which a drive will operate sufficiently.
