Hi, I'm having a problem with 3. (b) (ii) here.
I know that the frictional torque is 1500Nm and that from (b)(i) being 5055N I assume this is multiplied by 1.5M (drum shaft radius) which gives me 7582.5N. Do I have to calculate the angular acceleration of the drum from here, which could then give me the torque? And if so, how?
Help much appreciated. Answer and solution below.
