A bicycle rider would like to compare the effectiveness of cantilever hand brakes [see figure part (a)] versus V brakes [figure part (b)]. (a) Calculate the braking force RB at the wheel rims for each of the bicycle brake systems shown. Assume that all forces act in the plane of the figure and that cable tension T = 45 lbs. Also, what is the average compressive normal stress #c on the brake pad (A 0.625 in2)? (b) For each braking system, what is the stress in the brake cable (assume effective cross-sectional area of 0.00167 in2)

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.
