Hold car on a 20% incline or decline (approx. 11.3 degrees)
Calculations
ASC
Braking Force = Pulling Force Force - Friction Force
= (0.1)(9.81N/kg)(550kg)
= 539.55N
WSC
Braking Force = mgsin(θ)
...
Braking Torque = (Braking radius + wheel radius)(Braking Force) = (0.08575m18738m)(1057.22N) = 90.656Nm198.1Nm
Since there are two parking brakes, torque required per brake = (198.1Nm)/2 = 99.05Nm
Maximum static torque for ME10 is 226Nm. If we order a 3.5" lever, will need between 75-100lbs of lever force.
