An automotive-type clutch plate has inside and outside diameters of 160 mm and 240 mm, respectively. The clamping force is provided by nine springs, each compressed 5 mm to give a force of 900 N. The moulded friction material provides a conservatively estimated coefficient of friction of 0.4 when in contact with the flywheel and pressure plate. If the engine generates a torque of 190 Nm; (a) What is the torque percentage loss with respect to slippage of a brand new' clutch? (b) What is the torque percentage loss after 'initial wear has occurred?
