A drum brake with only two pads has failed and the technician believes the secondary pad has been replace with a substitute that can't handle the pressure. The details for the system are as follows: face width=.5in, coefficient of friction =.3, distance from center of rotation to contact of the brake pad=6in,=4.5in,c=9in, angle difference between pad start and hinge pin=0 deg, total angle for creating the brake pad=130 deg, and the total allowable pressure of the system is 10,000.
What is the moment of frictional forces?
