Braking Torque for Shoe Brake Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member = Tangential Braking Force*Radius of Wheel
M_t = F_t*r_w
This formula uses 3 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.
Tangential Braking Force - (Measured in Newton) - Tangential Braking Force is the frictional force acting at the contact surface of the block and the wheel.
Radius of Wheel - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Wheel 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

Tangential Braking Force: 15 Newton --> 15 Newton No Conversion Required
Radius of Wheel: 1.89 Meter --> 1.89 Meter No Conversion Required
