A)to increase power transmission

D)None of the above
E)None of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creep in belt drives, including cross belt drives, occurs due to the elongation and contraction of the belt as it moves around the pulleys. This phenomenon leads to a slight difference in the belt's velocity relative to the pulley surfaces, effectively reducing the speed of the driven pulley compared to the theoretical speed calculated without considering the effect of creep.
