  1. In a band and block brake, the ratio of tensions on the tight and slack sides of band is given by (where μ = Coefficient of friction between the blocks and the drum, θ = Semi-angle of each block subtending at the centre of drum, and n = Number of blocks)

  2. A.

    \(\frac { T_1 } { T_2 } = \mu \theta \times n\)

    B.

    \(\frac { T_1 } { T_2 } = (\mu \theta) ^n\)

    C.

    \(\frac { T_1 } { T_2 } = (\frac {1 - \mu tan \theta}{ 1 + \mu tan \theta})^n\)

    D.

    \(\frac { T_1 } { T_2 } = (\frac {1 + \mu tan \theta}{ 1 - \mu tan \theta})^n\)
