List the key components in a clutch assembly and explain their role in making the clutch assembly function to transmit power from the engine to the input shaft of a gearbox.

QI/ The rigid pole and cross-arm assembly is supported by the three cables shown. A turnbuckle at D is tightened until it induces a tension T in CD of 1.2 kN. Express T as a vector. Does it make any difference in the result which coordinate system is used? Ans. T = 0.321li + 0.641j – 0.962k kN, IC B 1.5 m G 1.5 m A T= 1.2 kN 3 m 2 m 1.5m

In the operation of some automatic transmissions both blank and blank overrunning clutches are used to hold members of the planetary gearset
