A motor is used to rotate a paddle for mixing chemicals. The shaft of the motor is coupled to the paddle using a friction clutch of the type shown in Fig. 9.17. The radius of the disks of the clutch is 120 mm, and the coefficient of static friction between the disks is 0.6. If the motor transmits a maximum torque of 15 N-m to the paddle, what minimum normal force between the plates of the clutch is necessary to prevent slipping?
