Let's break down the statements in the question: --- **Statement 1:** > Uniform pressure theory is only applicable when clutches are new and having many springs. Here, the intensity of pressure can be assumed constant between the disks. **Explanation:** This statement is **correct**. Uniform pressure theory assumes that the pressure distribution over the contact surface is uniform, which is generally true when the clutch is new and the springs are evenly distributed. --- **Statement 2:** > The torque transmitting capacity for one pair of the clutch’s contacting surfaces under uniform pressure theory is \( T = \mu F \frac{R + r}{2} \), where \( F \) is the actuating force, \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction, \( R \) is the outer radius of the disk, and \( r \) is the inner radius of the disk. **Explanation:** This formula is **correct** for the torque transmitted by a clutch under the uniform pressure theory. --- ### Options: - Both statements are correct. - Both statements are incorrect. - Only statement 1 is correct. - Only statement 2 is correct. --- **Correct Answer:** **Both statements are correct.** --- So, you should select the first option: **Both statements are correct.**
