The brake shown in figure has a coefficient of friction 0.25 and is to operate using a maximum force F of 500 N. Assume width of the band to be 50 mm, find the braking torque.
(a) 380.2 N
(b) 357.8 N
(c) 444.3 N
(d) 320.3 N
The question was asked in an online interview.
I need to ask this question from Brakes topic in chapter Brakes and Dynamometers of Machine Dynamics
