7900 kg RAIL INES 6800 kg PROBLEM 12.11 A tractor-trailer is traveling at 90 km/h when the driver applies his brakes. Knowing that the braking forces of the tractor and the trailer are 16 kN and 60 kN, respectively, determine (a) the distance traveled by the tractor- trailer before it comes to a stop, (b) the horizontal component of the force in the hitch between the tractor and the trailer while they are slowing down. x-xo= 60.4 m FH = 19.16 kN

Clutches, Brakes, Couplings, and Flywheels

The clutch is described as a machine element used to connect or disconnect two shafts together to transmit torque or power. The clutch works on the principles of friction. The clutch is commonly used in automobiles to transfer power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.
