Is the Calculation of Torque to Lift 100kg Accurate?

In summary, The conversation is about calculating the torque required to lift a 100kg mass using basic calculations and considering the angle. The calculated torque on the gearbox output shaft is 755Nm. The correctness of the calculation is questioned and further explanations and resources are requested.

Hi all,
Please note this is not a home work.
Working on a NPD.Please look at the jpeg file

I have done few basic calculations to find torque to lift 100kg
F=Ma
F=100x9.81
F=981N

Torque=Force x Distance
T=981x.77
T=755Nm

The torque on the gearbox output shaft required to lift is 755Nm

Is this calculation correct?

Any help on this is much appreciated

Regards

Hi
Is this question still open? I do not really understand your drawing but i think there is a problem with your calculations. Please explain how should work your device.

I think you need to provide more info with your drawing and how it works. remember Torque = Fdsin(x) I believe you need to consider the angle as well, but I'm not entirely sure how this works either

FAQ: Is the Calculation of Torque to Lift 100kg Accurate?

1. What is torque?

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis. It is typically represented by the symbol "τ" and is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.

2. How do I calculate torque?

To calculate torque, you will need to know the amount of force being applied to an object and the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied. The formula for torque is τ = F x d, where F is the force in newtons and d is the distance in meters.

3. What is the unit of measurement for torque?

The unit of measurement for torque is newton-meters (Nm) in the metric system and foot-pounds (ft-lb) in the imperial system.

4. How much torque is needed to lift 100kg?

The amount of torque needed to lift 100kg will depend on the distance from the point of rotation to the object. The formula for calculating torque for lifting an object is τ = (m x g) x d, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and d is the distance in meters.

5. Can I use torque to lift objects of different masses?

Yes, torque can be used to lift objects of different masses. As mentioned in the previous answer, the amount of torque needed will depend on the distance from the point of rotation to the object. The greater the mass of the object, the more torque will be required to lift it.
