In a band and block brake, the ratio of tensions on tight side and slack side of the band is (where $$\mu $$ = Coefficient of friction between the blocks and the drum, $$\theta $$ = Semi-angle of each block subtending at the center of drum and n = Number of blocks)
A. $$\frac{{{{\text{T}}_1}}}{{{{\text{T}}_2}}} = \mu \theta {\text{n}}$$
B. $$\frac{{{{\text{T}}_1}}}{{{{\text{T}}_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{1 - \mu \tan \theta }}{{1 + \mu \tan \theta }}} \right)^{\text{n}}}$$
C. $$\frac{{{{\text{T}}_1}}}{{{{\text{T}}_2}}} = {\left( {\mu \theta } \right)^{\text{n}}}$$
D. $$\frac{{{{\text{T}}_1}}}{{{{\text{T}}_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{1 + \mu \tan \theta }}{{1 - \mu \tan \theta }}} \right)^{\text{n}}}$$
