Solve Prob. 8.124 assuming that a counterclockwise moment is applied to the drum. Problem 8.124: For the band brake shown, the maximum allowed tension in either belt is 5.6kN. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the belt and the 160-mm-radius drum is 0.25, determine
(a) The largest clockwise moment M0 that can be applied to the drum if slipping is not to occur,
(b) The corresponding force P exerted on end E of the lever.
