The simple band brake is constructed so that the ends of the friction strap are connected to the pin at A and the lever arm at B. If the wheel is subjected to a torque of M = 80 lb • ft, and the minimum force P = 20 lb is needed to apply to the lever to hold the wheel stationary, determine the coefficient of static friction between the wheel and the band.
