Braking Torque for Band and Block Brake, Neglecting Thickness of Band Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member = (Tension in Tight Side of The Band-Tension in The Slack Side of Band)*Radius of The Drum
M_t = (T₁-T₂)*r_d
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Tension in Tight Side of The Band - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in Tight Side of The Band is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain etc.
Tension in The Slack Side of Band - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in The Slack Side of Band is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, etc.
Radius of The Drum - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of the drum is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension in Tight Side of The Band: 720 Newton --> 720 Newton No Conversion Required
Tension in The Slack Side of Band: 500 Newton --> 500 Newton No Conversion Required
Radius of The Drum: 0.16 Meter --> 0.16 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_t = (T₁-T₂)*r_d --> (720-500)*0.16

Evaluating ... ...

M_t = 35.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

35.2 Newton Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

35.2 Newton Meter <-- Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member
