In Reply to: I would say you're correct as far "clamping force", but thats only part of the "Stopping Force" equation.... posted by mentat on September 08, 2002 at 18:20:37:

As vague as you feel your explanation was I'm starting to see and understand something. I wasn't trying to be anal but trying to be clear in my thoughts. As you mentioned, the clamping force is part of the stopping equation, with the stopping distance also being part of the equation. I guess if the same amount of clamping force is applied to two seperate round diameters the larger dia will take less "revolution" to stop when compared to the smaller diameter if all other factors remained tha same, i.e. speed, force applied, and friction.
