Problem 5. For a double short-shoe external drum brake with a drum width of 60 mm as shown
in the following figure, find the torque capacity and required actuating force Fa for a=90mm,b
=80mm,e=30mm,r=40mm, and =25. What value of c will make it self-locking?
Assume the maximum allowable lining pressure is 1.3 MPa and the friction coefficient for the
brake lining material is =0.25.
