Coefficient of Friction given Braking Torque Formula

Coefficient of Friction for Brake = Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member/(Normal Reaction on Brake*Radius of Brake Drum)
μ = Mtfm/(N*r)

Define Braking Torque?

Brake torque is essentially the power of the braking system. The force exerted by the caliper, multiplied by the effective radius of the system equals the brake torque. Increasing either the force applied by the caliper, or the effective radius results in increased brake torque.
