Extracted text: a) Consider a flat plate clutch with maximum pressure of 50 KPa, outside diameter of 30 cm and inside diameter of 20 cm. Calculate the operating force assuming uniform wear and uniform pressure. b) The figure below shows the dimensionless plot for flat plate clutches comparing uniform wear and uniform pressure cases, where Tis the torque, Fis the force, fis the friction factor, D is the outside diameter and d is the inside diameter. Generate a similar plot for conical clutches taking into account the cone angle. T 0.5 Uniform pressure Uniform wear D 0.5 c) Evaluate the conditions needed for an epicyclic gear train to become a differential, and show how a differential works in this application with a single driver.
