1. Drum diameter 2. Width of the lining 3. Angle of the contact 4. Distance of brake pedal c 5. b 6. Drum speed 7. Maximum lining pressure (p1) 8. Coefficient of friction () Maximum tension in the band P1 T1 T1 T1

= T1/ e = 937.5/e (0.4*270/180) = 937.5/6.55 = 143.12 kg

= T2. b/c = 143.12*7/30 = 33.39 kg = 333.9 N

This force can be applied in humans. So than we can to use this type of band brake.
