4.) The following dimensions apply to a two-shoe truck brake somewhat as shown: face b = 5, r = 8, h =
5.1, c = 2.6, w=u= 6.4 in., =110, 1 =15. Lining is asbestos in rubber compound. For a maximum
pressure on each shoe of 100 psi, determine the force Q and the braking torque for
(a) clockwise rotation,
(b) counterclockwise rotation.
See 908. (Data courtesy of Wagner Electric Corporation.)

Given: ∅ 1 =15, 2∅ 1 =30

∅ 2 =∅ 1 +  = 15 + 110 = 125
2∅ 2 = 250
P = 100 psi, for asbestos in rubber compound f = 0.35
b = 5 in., r = 8 in. h = 5.1 in. c = 2.6 in.
Solution:
