Belt Tension Frequency Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Belt Tension Frequency.
f = SQRT ( T / (4*m*L))
Variables:
- f is the Belt Tension Frequency (Hz)
- T is the Tension (N)
- m is the mass of the vibrating belt span (kg)
- L is the span length (m)
How to Calculate Belt Tension Frequency?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Belt Tension Frequency.
- First, determine the Tension (N).
- Next, determine the mass of the vibrating belt span (kg).
- Next, determine the span length (m).
- Next, gather the formula from above = f = SQRT ( T / (4*m*L)).
- Finally, calculate the Belt Tension Frequency.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Tension (N) = 1519
mass (kg) = 50
length (m) = 2
f = SQRT ( T / (4*m*L)) = ?
