Calculating Braking Forces of a Disc and Drum Brake .

satya430

Hello ,
I have to change a car's rear drums to discs . I have the weight at each of the rear wheels . Using DAC I know the max speed and max Decelerations sustained by the car . What are the basic formulae used to calculate the braking forces and the braking distance .

jack action

Look at the theory at the bottom of this page (Theory »» Longitudinal acceleration »» Braking).
