Serway & Jewett β€” Fluid Mechanics: Problem 45

A uniform disk of mass 10.0 kg and radius 0.250 m spins at 300 rev/min on a low-friction axle. It must be brought to a stop in 1.00 min by a brake pad that makes contact with the disk at an average distance 0.220 m from the axis. The coefficient of friction between pad and disk is 0.500. A piston in a cylinder of diameter 5.00 cm presses the brake pad against the disk. Find the pressure required for the brake fluid in the cylinder.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 10.0 kg, 0.250 m, 0.220 m, 0.500. A, 5.00 cm
