    Torque calculation

    I am struggling to understand how the units equate to NM in the formula below when calculating torque requirement for a motor. torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration Given that:- units for Torque=Nm units for Moment of inertia=kg/m2 units for angular acceleration=radians/sec2...

    Power requirement

    Thanks desertfox. This is not really my forte and my mechanics knowledge is limited. It is a project I have been asked to get involved with. I am not too proud to show my inadequacies so my theory and calculations are as follows.I treated it as a simple lever where to turn the mass 74730N(7.5t)...
