A band and block brake, having 14 blocks each of which subtends an angle of 15° atthe center, 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 brakingtorque, 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 07

(b) A rear engine automobile is travelling along a track of 100 meters mean radius. Eachof the four road wheels has a moment of inertia of 2.5 kg-m® and an effective
radius of 0.6 m. The rotating parts of the engine have a moment of inertia of 1.2
kg-m?%. The engine axis is parallel to the rear axle and the crankshaft rotates in the
same sense as the road wheels. The ratio of engine speed to back axle speed is 3:1.

The automobile has a mass of 1600 kg and has its center of gravity 0.5 m above roadlevel. The width of the track of the vehicle is 1.5 m. Determine the limiting speed of
the vehicle around the curve for all four wheels to maintain contact with the road
surface. Assume that the road surface is not cambered and center of gravity of the
automobile lies centrally with respect to the four wheels. 07
