19
Q

Which of the following statements about belt drive systems is FALSE?

Linear speed on a point of each pulley will be the same as the linear speed of the belt.

Tension in the bottom belt is always double that in the top belt.

Belt driver pulleys move follower pulleys by means of frictional force between the belt and the pulleys.

Rotational speed will be equal if the pulley diameters are equal.

because at high pressures it separates into acetone and trilene

because at low pressures (below 100 kPa) it becomes fluid

because it rapidly loses heat at elevated pressures

A

because it is unstable at pressures above 103 kPa
