Work Problem 1 but with short shoes rigidly attached to the two uprights.

Problem 1

(a) Make an exploded view of the double-block brake of Fig. 1 and show all forces and moments required for equilibrium of each part. μ = 0.2; width b = 4 in.

---

(b) Find the value of pmax for each shoe and the value of the torque exerted by the brake. Also find the absorbed power.
