Tangential Braking Force given Normal Force on Brake Block Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Tangential Braking Force = Coefficient of Friction for Brake*Normal force pressing the brake block on the wheel*Radius of Wheel
Ft = μbrake*RN*rwheel
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Tangential Braking Force - (Measured in Newton) - Tangential Braking Force is the frictional force acting at the contact surface of the block and the wheel.
Coefficient of Friction for Brake - Coefficient of Friction for Brake is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.
Normal force pressing the brake block on the wheel - (Measured in Newton) - Normal force pressing the brake block on the wheel is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.
Radius of Wheel - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Wheel is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Coefficient of Friction for Brake: 0.35 --> No Conversion Required
Normal force pressing the brake block on the wheel: 6 Newton --> 6 Newton No Conversion Required
Radius of Wheel: 1.89 Meter --> 1.89 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ft = μbrake*RN*rwheel --> 0.35*6*1.89
Evaluating ... ...
Ft = 3.969
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.969 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
3.969 Newton <-- Tangential Braking Force
