How many times will a 5 cm pulley turn when attached to a 10 cm pulley?
In relation to the 10 cm pulley a 5 cm pulley has half the circumference thus will rotate on the same line or belt twice as often. circumference = 2 x pi x radius or pi x diameter, when comparing 2 circumferences the value of pi is immaterial. Thus 10cm/5cm = 2

Formula to calculate v-belt length?
The answer is: L = pi x (D + d)/2 + 2 x ( C x Cos(a) + a x (D-d)/2) where a = arcsin(D-d)/(2 x C) in radians. Where C is the center distance, D is the large pulley diameter, and d is the small pulley diameter.

Can you show me please the tensioner pulley?
The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to all the units that need to be turned, alternator, power steering, water pump, etc. There is one pulley that is spring loaded that keeps the correct tension on the belt. That is the tensioner pulley. That can be moved to release the tension on the belt so that the belt can be removed.
