Find the correct answer from the given options and also provide a detailed solution.

Answer- (B) - Short drives

V-belts are usually used for short drives

Solution:- 

  • V-belt transmits the power between a set of sheaves or grooved pulleys. It is a flexible machine element that has a trapezium cross-section. As it has a trapezium shape, more area is in contact with the pulley or sheaves, so more will be friction and hence high torque transmitting capacity.
