Chapter 30, Problem 1RQ
Name three methods of braking a motor.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Identify three methods of braking a motor.
Explanation of Solution
The motors are generally slowed to stop by disconnecting thee power supplied. But, there are instances where that is not convenient. In these instances, brakes are applied to the motor to slow or stop the motor.
Some of the methods of braking a motor are:
- Mechanical brakes.
- Dynamic brakes.
- Plugging.

Q.1) Block A is connected to block B by a pulley
system as shown. The weights of blocks A and B
are 100 lbs and 70 lbs, respectively. Assume
negligible friction between the rope and all pulleys
as well as between block B and the incline and
neglect the mass of all pulleys and cables.
Determine the angle 0 required to keep the system
in equilibrium. (At least two FBDs must be drawn
