Q: The shoes on the brake depicted in the figure subtend a 90 arc on the drum of this external pivoted-shoe brake. The actuation force P

The shoes on the brake depicted in the figure subtend a 90◦ arc on the drum of this external pivoted-shoe brake. The actuation force P is applied to the lever. The rotation direction of the drum is counterclockwise, and the coefficient of friction is 0.30.
(a) What should the dimension e be?
(b) Draw the free-body diagrams of the handle lever and both shoe levers, with forces expressed in terms of the actuation force P.
(c) Does the direction of rotation of the drum affect the braking torque?
