    GPC - Polymer solvent compatibility

    Homework Statement Given for polystyrene K = 1.6x10^5 and a = 0.71 and for PVC K = 1.5x10^5 and a = 0.77 a universal calibration curve has been created from PS and the molar mass of PVC at a certain elution volume has been calculated. The part I'm not sure on is the question: Show which of...

    Belt friction between two pulleys.

    As far as I can see what has been done is that given that T1/T2 = e^u0 then T1/e^u0 = T2. Knowing that T1 is tightside tension and therefore Tmax, how is it that T1 = 1 in order to rearrange for T2 = e^u0? I'm sure the answer is very obvious but I really can't see what is going on.
