(a) Write the expression for torque and the maximum lining pressure in terms of T2 for the brake shown in Fig. 1(a); μ = 0.3.


(b) Do the same for the brake in Fig. 1(b). Note that, for the same value of the actuating force T2, the brake in (b) can exert approximately three times the torque exerted by the brake in (a), but the lining pressure is almost twice as great.
