  1. A disc clutch with a single friction surface has coefficient of friction equal to 0.3. The maximum pressure which can be imposed on the friction material is 1.5 MPa. The outer diameter of the clutch plate is 200 mm and its internal diameter is 100 mm. Assuming uniform wear theory for the clutch plate, the maximum torque (in Nm) that can be transmitted is ________.
    1. 529 N - m
    2. 533 N - m
    3. 531.14 N - m
    4. 530.14 N - m
Correct Option: D

As per uniform wear theory

Torque =
πμP2d
[D² - d²]
8

=
π × 0.3 × 1.5 × 106
[0.2² - 0.1²] = 530.14 N - m
