Talk:Belt problem

message: I tripped over this article while browsing Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Current activity, so I started cleaning up the formatting, then realised that the worked solution was much too long and the expression for the belt length was not stated in its simplest terms, so I simplified it all, and added the corresponding expression for the "pulley problem" solution. But I can't find any references that show that "belt problem" or "pulley problem" are standard terms, and I am not convinced that Wikipedia needs an article on a couple of straightforward trigonometry exercises. So if someone were to nominate this article for deletion, I wouldn't object. Gandalf61 14:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup

message: This article should not be subjected to deletion. It is not a trigonometry excersise, and it is used in real life. Acince this is an encyclopedia, it should include systems used in real life, and even if there arn't other problems realted to this anywherelse, it is used in real life, so there is no reason it should be deleted.

thread_title: Deletion is unessecary

message: This article cleverly uses trigonometry and some algebra in an real life situation. Math professors or teachers could use it in their classes. Deleting this article would be unnecessary in my opinion as it would be like throwing away knowledge.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.42.81.121 (talk) 02:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Please leave evreything how it currently is, but if there is a formatting problem try the <math> prefrences stuff  ⊕Assasin Joe  talk  15:18, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Can we get a source on the labels "belt problem" and "pulley problem"? In the article, the situations claimed for these labels are opposite to my own intuition. 
In real life, belts use the exterior tangents, not interior, and compound pulley systems do cross (in addition to using exterior tangents). D. F. Schmidt (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
