Two hemispheres having an inner radius of 2 ft and wall thickness of 0.25 in. are fitted together, and the inside pressure is reduced to − 10 psi. If the coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.5 between the hemispheres, determine (a) the torque T needed to initiate the rotation of the top hemisphere relative to the bottom one, (b) the vertical force needed to pull the top hemisphere of the bottom one, and (c) the horizontal force needed to slide the top hemisphere off the bottom one.

- The single-plate clutch transmits the torque C from the input shaft on the left to the output shaft on the right. Compression springs between the clutch housing and the pressure plate provide the necessary pressure on the friction surface. The splines prevent the clutch plate from rotating relative to the output shaft. If Ri=4 in. and R0=9 in., determine the total force that must be applied to the pressure plate by the springs if the clutch is to transmit a torque of C=56lbft when it is new.arrow_forwardThe screw of the clamp has a square thread of pitch 0.16 in. and a mean diameter of 0.6 in.
