A simple band brake has a 76 cm drum and fitted with a steel band 2/5 cm thick lined with a bake lining having a coefficient of friction of 0.25. The arc of contact is 245 degrees. The drum is attached to a 60 cm hoisting drum that sustains a rope load of 820 kg. The operating force has a moment arm of 1.50 m and the band is attached 12 cm from the pivot point. Find the torque just required to support the load (clockwise).
