Suppose a 30 lb truck wheel 18 in. in diameter has a radius of gyration of 4 in. and  the 6120 lb truck’s weight is distributed equally to each of the four wheels. a. If the truck can supply 150 lb x ft of torque to each wheel, how fast would the wheel want to  accelerate if it didn’t slip?  b. What would the coefficient of friction have to be in order to keep the wheel from slipping

Clutches, Brakes, Couplings, and Flywheels

The clutch is described as a machine element used to connect or disconnect two shafts together to transmit torque or power. The clutch works on the principles of friction. The clutch is commonly used in automobiles to transfer power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.
