Hey guys,
I have a DC motor and i want to glue to it's rotor a round plate (make a hole through it and stick the rotor in that hole :) )(consider the plate weightless) and on this plate i will glue a weight, doesn't matter what the weight is...just know that it's constant.
My question is this: how does the surface of the plate (on which the wight stands on) be so that the motor can, more easily, turn the weight. If i use a smaller plate (2cm diameter) instead of a bigger one (7cm diameter) will this make it easier for the motor or harder? How does the surface of the plate influence the force of the motor?
Hope i explained it right, if you don't understand something..do tell and i'll explain it again :)
(I know it might seem like an electrical engineering problem, but i don't think it is)
