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 shaf…

Textbook Question

Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.47P

The roller-coaster track shown is contained in a vertical plane. The portion of track between A and B is straight and horizontal, while the portions to the left of A and to the right of B have radii of curvature as indicated. A car is traveling at a speed of 72 when the brakes are suddenly applied; causing the wheels of the car to slide on the track ( μ k = 0.20 ) . Determine the initial deceleration of the car if the brakes are applied as the car (a) has almost reached A, (b) is traveling between A and B, (c) has just passed B.

Question 1 [3/06]: During a brake test, the rear-engine car is stopped from an initial speed of 100 km/h in a distance of 50 m. If it is known that all four wheels contribute equally to the braking force, determine the braking force F at each wheel. Assume a constant deceleration for the 1500-kg car. 50 m V₁ = 100 km/h V2=0

The "flying car" is a ride at an amusement park which consists of a car having wheels that roll along a track mounted inside a rotating drum. By design the car cannot fall off the track, however motion of the car is developed by applying the car's brake, thereby gripping the car to the track and allowing it to move with a constant speed of the track, vt = 3 m/s. The rider applies the brake when going from B to A and then releases it at the top of the drum, A, so that the car coasts freely down along the track to B (0 = π rad). Neglect friction during the motion from A to B. The rider and car have a total mass of 390 kg and the center of mass of the car and rider moves along a circular path having a radius of R = 9.8 m. (Figure 1) Figure R B

A homogeneous cylinder of radius R > H rests on a horizontal board with a step of height H as the picture shows. Determine the maximum possible acceleration a from the table, such that the cylinder does not start to climb the step. The friction between the board and the floor is neglected.
