) A hydraulically operated multidisk plate clutch has an effective disk outer diameter of 160 mm and an inner diameter of d mm. There are six sliding planes. The coefficient of friction (f) is 0.20 and the maximum pressure (Pa) is 900 kPa. (a) Using the uniform wear model, estimate the axial force.
(b) Calculate the inner diameter of the plates for maximum torque and determine the maximum Torque
(hint: differentiate torque T with respect to inner diameter of d).
