The block brake consists of a pin-connected lever and friction block at B. The coefficient of static friction between the wheel and the lever is, μs = 0.3, and a torque of 5 N · m is applied to the wheel. Determine if the brake can hold the wheel stationary when the force applied to the lever is (a) P=30 N, (b) P=70 N.

- The two homogeneous bars AB and BC are connected with a pin at B and placed between rough vertical walls. If the coefficient of static friction between each bar and the wall is 0.25, determine the largest angle 6 for which the assembly will remain at rest.arrow_forwardThe square-threaded screw 0f the C-clamp has a mean diameter of 8 mm and a pitch of 1.6 mm. The coefficient of static friction between the threads is 0.2. If the torque C=1.50Nm is used to tighten the clamp, determine (a) the clamping force; and (b) the torque required to loosen the clamp.arrow_forwardThe leather rein used to fasten the horse to the hitching rail weighs 3.5 oz per foot. The coefficient of static friction between the rail and the rein is 0.6. If a 34-lb force acting on the bridle is sufficient to restrain the horse, determine the smallest safe length L for the free end of the rein.arrow_forward

Compression springs between the clutch housing and the pressure plate provide the necessary pressure on the friction surface. The splines prevent the clutch plate from rotating relative to the output shaft.
