In a belt conveyor drive, the relationship between tight side tension ($T_1$) and slack side tension ($T_2$) on the drive pulley is given by Euler's capstan equation:

Options:

• (A) $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \exp(\mu \theta)$
• (B) $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \mu \theta$
• (C) $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \ln(\mu \theta)$
• (D) $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 1 + \mu \theta$
