Speed reduction:brakes

Brakes use friction to reduce speed.They are activated by certain levers.The lever transmits force to an output receptor,which put pressure on the wheel.This produces friction which slows down the wheel.

 Disc brakes.Brake pads apply pressure to the disc.

Band brakes.A flexible band applies pressure to the outside of the drum.

Drum brakes.A pair of brake shoes apply pressure to the inside of the drum.

PULLEYS AND COMPOUND PULLEY SYSTEMS

In a system of pulleys the equilibrium between the forces depends on the path that the rope follows. PULLEYS: FIXED PULLEY :  Has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure. A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference.  F: R MOVEABLE PULLEY:   Has an axle in a movable block. A single movable pulley is supported by two parts of the same rope and has a mechanical advantage of two. F: R/2
