    How to calculate this torque? (steel ball in a spiral tube)

    Want to let the steel ball move upwards at a uniform speed, how is the torque of the spiral tube calculated? The parameters can be assumed by themselves. **The spiral tube is fixed on the central shaft, the central shaft is mounted in the ball bearing, and the thrust F acts perpendicularly on...

    Decreasing Motor Torque Requirement With a Gearbox

    hi, I'm working on a rotational system, and my goal is to rotate a 500kg(1100lbs) load to 90° in 1.5 seconds. Inertia of load makes system hard to accelerate and decelerate. I designed a gear system but still motor needs too much torque. Is there any possible method to decrease motor torque...

    Torque required at the wheels to accelerate a vehicle at a certain rate?

    I'm struggling to understand something basic here. If I have a just a wheel, with mass 10kg, and radius 0.25m, and I specify that the CG is accelerating linearly at 1ms-2, how do I calculate the force needed to do this? Using F = ma gives 10N, but using this value for torque calculation on the...

    Torque, angular momentum and a fixed axis-of-symmetry requirement

    I'm reading through "University Physics 14th edition" by Young and Freeman. Section 10.5 on angular momentum for a rigid body around a fixed axis of rotation is derived as L = Iω. However, it shows that this is only the case for the fixed axis of rotation being an axis of symmetry. In section...

    Torque: find the force necessary for a body to be in equilibrium

    The question doesn't specify whether we're talking about translation or rotational equilibrium, so I suppose it's both: In order for the body to have translational equilibrium: 60 N + F2 = 0 F2 = -60N However, in order to have rotational equilibrium: 60 N * 3m + F2 *8 m = 0 60 N * 3m - 60 N...

    Torque with Infinity length can lift anything?

    I was always wondering if you can lift anything (no matter how heavy it is) if you just use a really long pipe. Or does torque increases in a way like ##e^x## , ##a^x## and after some point it barely increases? Also if this can be explained mathematically, I would love to see it.
