A band and block brake, having 14 blocks each of which subtends an angle of 15°
at the centre, is applied to a drum of 1 m effective diameter. The drum and
flywheel mounted on the same shaft has a mass of 2000 kg and a combined radius
of gyration of 500 mm. The two ends of the band are attached to pins on opposite
sides of the brake lever at distances of 30 mm and 120 mm from the fulcrum. If a
force of 200 N is applied at a distance of 750 mm from the fulcrum, find:
1. maximum braking torque
2. angular retardation of the drum, and
3. time taken by the system to come to rest from the rated speed of 360 r.p.m.
The coefficient of friction between blocks and drum may be taken as 0.25.
