Effective Radius in Brakes and Dynamometers Formulas

Effective Radius is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the brake clamp force is applied, affecting the overall braking performance. And is denoted by r_e. Effective Radius is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Effective Radius is always positive.
