Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_269
3/269 The figure shows a centrifugal clutch consisting in part of a rotating spider A which carries four plungers B. As the spider is made to rotate about its center with a speed ω, the plungers move outward and bear against the interior surface of the rim of wheel C, causing it to rotate. The wheel and spider are independent except for frictional contact. If each plunger has a mass of 2 kg with a center of mass at G, and if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plungers and the wheel is 0.40, calculate the maximum moment M which can be transmitted to wheel C for a spider speed of 3000 rev/min.
