*8.10. The brakes on an automobile act by forcing brake pads, which have a metal support and a lining, to press against a disk (rotor) attached to the wheel. Friction between the pads and the disk causes the car to slow or stop. Each wheel has an iron brake disk with a mass of 15 lbm and two brake pads, each having a mass of 1 lbm- (a) Suppose an automobile is moving at 55 miles per hour when the driver suddenly applies the brakes and brings the car to a rapid halt. Take the heat capacity of the disk and brake pads to be 0.12 Btu/(lbm-°F) and assume that the car stops so rapidly that heat transfer from the disk and pads has been insignificant. Estimate the final temperature of the disk and pads if the car is (i) a Toyota Camry, which has a mass of about 32001lbm, or (ii) a Cadillac Escalade, which has a mass of about 5,900 lbm. (b) Why are the linings on brake pads no longer made of asbestos? Your answer should provide information on specific issues or concerns caused by the use of asbestos.
