    Tightening force = 2200 N
    Pitch = 4 mm = 0.004 m

    Torque = Tightening force ×
    0.004
    		 = 1.4 N-m

    Given ,
    Tension in tight side
    		 =
    T1
    		 = 3
    Tension is slack sideT2

    T1
    		 = eμ θ
    T2

    where, θ = angle of overlap = 180 = π radians
    ∴ 3 = eμ θ
    ln(3) = μ θ
    ∴ μ =
    1
    		 ln(3) = 0.35

Direction: A band brake consists of a lever attached to one end of the band. The other end of the band is fixed to the ground. The wheel has a radius of 200 mm and the wrap angle of the band is 270°. The braking force applied to the lever is limited to 100 N, and the coefficient of friction between the band and the wheel is 0.5. No other information is given.

  1. The maximum tension that can be generated in the band during braking is

    θ = 270°
    μ = 0.5
    Taking moment about 0,

    ∑ M0 = 0
    ⇒ T2 × 1 - 100 × 2 = 0
    T2 = 200 N

    T1
    		 = eμ θ
    T2

    T1
    		 = e0.5 × (3π / 2)
    T2

    T1 = 2110 N

    Correct Option: B

    θ = 270°
    μ = 0.5
    Taking moment about 0,

    ∑ M0 = 0
    ⇒ T2 × 1 - 100 × 2 = 0
    T2 = 200 N

    T1
    		 = eμ θ
    T2

    T1
    		 = e0.5 × (3π / 2)
    T2

    T1 = 2110 N
