  1. A force of 400 N is applied to the brake drum of 0.5 m diameter in a band brake system as shown in figure, where the wrapping angle is 180°. If the coefficient of friction between the drum and the band is 0.25, the braking torque applied, in Nm is
    1. 100.6
    2. 54.4
    3. 22.1
    4. 15.7
Correct Option: B


As the drum is rotating in anti clock wise direction, T1 will be right side & T2 will be clock side.

T1
= eμθ = e0.25 × π = 2.19
T2

⇒  T2 = = 182.375 N
Braking torque = (T1 – T2 )r
= 54.4 N – m
