(a) Make an exploded view of the double-block brake in Fig. 1. Draw each part, including the drum, separately, and show all forces and moments necessary for equilibrium. Assume that the normal and friction forces for the shoes are concentrated at points B.

(b) Compute the value of the maximum shoe pressure and the horsepower absorbed by the brake. Find the horsepower absorbed per unit area, and the pV value.
