  1. A disk clutch is required to transmit 5 kW at 2000 rpm. The disk has a friction lining with coefficient of friction equal to 0.25. Bore radius of friction lining is equal to 25 mm. Assume uniform contact pressure of 1 MPa. The value of outside radius of the friction lining is
    1. 39.4 mm
    2. 49.5 mm
    3. 97.9 mm
    4. 142.9 mm
Correct Option: A

Torque, T =
P × 60
= 23.87 Nm
2π × N

= Axial thrust,
W = P × π (r²1 × r²2)
But T =
2
μ × P × π(r²1 × r²2)
3

(r³1 × r³2)
= μwr
(r²1 × r²2)

∴ r2 = 39.4 mm
