In bearings and gears the objective was to minimize friction, for brakes and clutches
the objective is to maximize friction and minimize wear.
Brakes and clutches are machine elements that have the functions of storing or
transferring mainly rotating energy, converting it into heat and dissipating it.

The normal force N on the pad is: Ry
N = F − Ry = 45 + 135 = 180 N, upward.

The friction force is:
f N = 0.4(180) = 72 N directed to the right.
