Which of the following clutch is also considered as the wet clutch?

Which of the following clutch is also considered as the wet clutch? Correct Answer Multi-plate clutch

Explanation:

Single and multiple-plate clutch:

As the number of contacting surfaces increases, more amount of heat will be generated.

Multiplate clutch has more contacting surfaces as compared to single plate clutch resulting in more amount of heat generation. Thus, a large amount of heat generation requires cooling to maintain functionality therefore multi-plate clutches are considered as wet clutch while single plate clutches are considered as dry clutches.

Consider the following statements regarding clutches 1. Dry clutch has higher coefficient of friction compared to wet clutch 2. The torque capacity of wet clutch is high compared to dry clutch. 3. The engagement in a dry clutch is smoother than in case of wet clutch. Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
A centrifugal clutch has four shoes. When the clutch is at rest, each shoe is pulled against a stop by a spring so that it leaves a radial clearance of 10 mm between the shoe and the rim. The pull exerted by the spring is then 700 N. The mass centre of the shoe is 150 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the rim is 500 mm, the mass of each shoe is 6 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 75 N/mm and the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the rim is 0.35; find the power transmitted by the clutch at 400 r.p.m.
A centrifugal clutch has four shoes. When the clutch is at rest, each shoe is pulled against a stop by a spring so that it leaves a radial clearance of 7.5 mm between the shoe and the rim. The pull exerted by the spring is then 600 N. The mass centre of the shoe is 120 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the rim is 350 mm, the mass of each shoe is 5 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 60 N/mm and the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the rim is 0.2; find the speed of the centrifugal clutch, if the power transmitted is 40.168 kW.

A single plate clutch, having n = 2, has outer and inner radii 200 mm and 175 mm respectively. The maximum intensity of pressure at any point is 0.05 N/mm2. If the µ is 0.4 and the power generated by the clutch is equal to 32.384 kW, determine the speed of the clutch.
Why do vehicle tires experience a loss of traction, and slip during a rainy day on a wet road? a) Because during rainy day efficiency of the engine drops effectively b) Because during rainy day roads are normally wet and this reduces friction between car and vehicle. c) Because during rainy day roads are normally wet and this increases friction between car and vehicle and hence, we experience loss of traction and vehicle slips. Choose one of the following
