A cone clutch transmits 24kW at 490rpm. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and allowable intensity of pressure is 0.35N/mm². The semi cone angle is 12⁰. The outer diameter is fixed as 310mm.Assuming uniform wear theory; find the maximum torque which is transmitted.

(a) 502.4N-m

(b) 542.3N-m

(c) 467.72N-m

(d) 454.5N-m
