A band brake is installed on a drum rotating at 252 rpm, and a diameter of 960 millimeters. The angle of contact is 271 degrees and one end of the brake band is fastened to a fixed pin while the other end to the brake arm 258 millimeters from the fixed pin. The coefficient of friction is 0.25 and the straight brake arm is 1001 millimeters long and is placed perpendicular to the diameter bisecting the angle of contact. Sketch the diagram and determine the minimum force in Newtons applied at the end of the brake arm necessary to stop the drum if 51 kW is being absorbed.

(Band Brake)
A band brake is installed on a drum rotating at 252 rpm, and a diameter of 960 millimeters. The angle of contact is
271 degrees and one end of the brake band is fastened to a fixed pin while the other end to the brake arm 258
millimeters from the fixed pin. The coefficient of friction is 0.25 and the straight brake arm is 1001 millimeters
long and is placed perpendicular to the diameter bisecting the angle of contact. Sketch the diagram and determine
the minimum force in Newtons applied at the end of the brake arm necessary to stop the drum if 51 kW is being
absorbed.
