The man having a weight of 200 lb pushes horizontally on the crate as shown in the photo. The coefficient of static friction between the 450-lb crate and the floor is μs = 0.3 and between his shoes and the floor is μ's = 0.6. Determine if the man can move the crate. Solve the parts below.  a) Determine the force that tends to move the man to the right. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.  b) Determine the magnitude of the maximum force due to friction that opposes the tendency of the man's motion. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

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.
