A multi-disk clutch consists of two steel disks with one bronze disk. The inner and outer diameters of the contacting surfaces are 200 and 250 mm respectively. The coeffi cient of friction is 0.1 and the maximum pressure between the contacting surfaces is limited to 0.4 N/mm. Assuming uniform wear theory, calculate the required force to engage the clutch and the power transmitting capacity at 720 rpm.
