A conical clutch has an included angle of 120°, a coefficient of friction of 0.4, and outer and inner diameters of 85mm and 18mm respectively.   Using both the uniform wear theory and the uniform pressure theory, calculate the force required to press the two halves together if it is to transmit 300W at 750rev/min.   The uniform wear theory and the uniform pressure theory deliver different values for torque in the same system. Which theory would be preferred in practice for use in calculations involving a friction clutch? Give reasons for your choice.
