A multiple disc clutch is used to operate the speed regulating gears of lathe. If the torque delivered by the clutch is 400 lbs. in., evaluate the number of discs are necessary and the max. force acting on them while the clutch is in operation. Limit the disc friction surface sizes between 5 in. and 3 in. Take the factor of safety as 2, coefficient of friction varies from 0.150 to 0.200, and the pressure as 100 psi.
