If P1 and P2 are the tight and slack side tensions in the belt, then the initial tension Pi (according to Barth) will be equal to
[(√P1 + √P2)/2]²
P1 + P2
2 × (P1 + P2)
[2 × (P1 + P2)] + Pc Where Pc is centrifugal tension
[(√P1 + √P2)/2]²
P1 + P2
2 × (P1 + P2)
[2 × (P1 + P2)] + Pc Where Pc is centrifugal tension
