Chapter 16, Problem 72CP

(choose chapter or problem)

Disk brakes, such as those in your car, operate by using pressurized oil to push outward on a piston. The piston, in turn, presses brake pads against a spinning rotor or wheel, as seen in Figure CP15.72. Consider a \(15 \mathrm{~kg}\) industrial grinding wheel, \(26 \mathrm{~cm}\) in diameter, spinning at \(900 \mathrm{rpm}\). The brake pads are actuated by \(2.0\)-cm-diameter pistons, and they contact the wheel an average distance \(12 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the axis. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pad and the wheel is 0.60, what oil pressure is needed to stop the wheel in 5.0 s?
