The answer is C. Because at the higher speed the belt slips on the pulley and so the power will be less as compared to desired power at corresponding speed (as in ideal condition). If the belt doesn't slip on the pulley at a higher speed then the power will increase. But it is not possible in actual practice.

@Jagadbandhu.

Centrifugal tension does not affect power transmission upto 10 m/sec, But here speed is so high that we have to consider Centrifugal tension. Due to Centrifugal tension slip occurs, thus reduces power transmission.

Hence Option C.

As speed increases, the centrifugal effect also increases and therefore power decreases with increase in speed. Power is max when centrifugal tension is equal to one-third of total tension.

According to the formula, power transmission should increase but as in actual practice that is impossible without slip.

C is correct, because when speed increases centrifugal tension increases which decreases the power (Tmax-Tc:T1).

When the speed of belt increases the frictional tension decrease between pulley and belt so power decreases.

Given option C is correct. Because belt speed increases, power transmitted decrease due to slip in belt.

Rahil said:   8 years ago
When the speed got increased then the sliping also increase so the power transmission got decrease.

C is correct, practically speed increases than slip increases and so power decrease.

C is correct, practically speed increases than slip increases and so power decrease.
