A centrifugal clutch has four shoes, each of mass 0·35 kg. When at rest, the radial clearance between the shoes and the clutch drum is 15 mm and the radius to the centre of gravity of the shoes is 225 mm. The shoes are held on retaining springs of stiffness 10 kN/m and the internal diameter of the clutch drum is 600 mm. The coefficient of friction between the drum and the shoes is 0·3. Determine: (a) The speed (in rev/min) at which the clutch starts to engage. For a rotational speed of 1200 rev/min: (b) The force each shoe exerts on the drum. (c) The torque transmitted. (d) The power transmitted.

Question
A centrifugal clutch has four shoes, each of mass 0·35 kg. When at rest, the radial
clearance between the shoes and the clutch drum is 15 mm and the radius to the centre of
gravity of the shoes is 225 mm. The shoes are held on retaining springs of stiffness 10
kN/m and the internal diameter of the clutch drum is 600 mm. The coefficient of friction
between the drum and the shoes is 0·3.
Determine:
(a) The speed (in rev/min) at which the clutch starts to engage.
For a rotational speed of 1200 rev/min:
(b) The force each shoe exerts on the drum.
(c) The torque transmitted.
(d) The power transmitted.
