Two pulleys of diameters d1 and d2 and at distance x apart are connected by means of an open belt drive. The length of the belt is
(a) π /2 (d1 + d2) 2x + (d1 + d2)^2/4x
(b) π /2 (d1 – d2) 2x + (d1 – d2)^2/4x
(c) π /2 (d1 + d2) 2x + (d1 – d2)^2/4x
(d) π /2 (d1 – d2) 2x + (d1 + d2)^2/4x
I got this question in unit test.
