) A wet multiple-disc clutch with sintered linings is required to transmit 120 Nm of torque at 1000 rev/min. The axial force is created when 6 helical compression springs deflect 5 mm. Each spring has a spring constant k = 142 N/mm. Assuming uniform wear, determine :- (i) the outside and inside diameters if ri = 0.577 ro . (ii) the number of discs required. (iii) the maximum power that can be transmitted
