While the rotation of the rotor of the wind turbine can be slowed by changing the pitch angle of the blades during aerodynamic braking, the rotor needs a mechanical main shaft brake to keep it stopped completely. Frictional force is an essential physics concept that will help explain the working mechanism of the main shaft…
