Machine Design
In a band and block brake, the ratio of tensions on the tight and slack sides of band is given by (where μ = Coefficient of friction between the blocks and the drum, θ = Semi-angle of each block subtending at the centre of drum, and n = Number of blocks)

T₁/T₂ = (μθ)n
T₁/T₂ = μθ × n
T₁/T₂ = [(1 + μ tanθ)/ (1 - μ tanθ)]n
T₁/T₂ = [(1 - μ tanθ)/ (1 + μ tanθ)]n

In order to determine the stresses in a thin cylinder due to an internal pressure, it is assumed that

The effect of curvature of the cylinder wall is neglected
The effect of the restraining action of the heads at the end of the pressure vessel is neglected
The tensile stresses are uniformly distributed over the section of the walls
All of these
