4. A plate clutch has three discs and two discs on the driven shaft, providing four pairs of contact surfaces. The outside diameter of the contact surfaces is 240 mm and inside diameter 120 mm. Assuming uniform pressure and f = 0.3, find the total spring load pressing the plates to transmit 25 kW at 1575 rpm.

Question
4. A plate clutch has three discs on the driving shaft
and two discs on the driven shaft, providing four
pairs of contact surfaces. The outside diameter of
the contact surfaces is 240 mm and inside diameter
120 mm. Assuming uniform pressure and f = 0.3,
find the total spring load pressing the plates to
transmit 25 kW at 1575 rpm.
If there are 6 springs each of the contact
surfaces has worn away by 1.25 mm, find the
maximum power that can be transmitted, assuming
uniform wear.
