A multiple plate clutch transmits 50 kW of power at 1400 rpm. The axial intensity of pressure is not to exceed 0.15 N/mm², and the µ for the friction surface is 0.12. The inner radius of the disc is 80 mm and is 0.7 times the outer radius. Determine the number of discs required to transmit the given power.
Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
