Hi there,
I was wondering if you could help me with a quick problem. I should probably know this but for some reason I am getting confused between different points of view:
If I wanted to calculate the maximum torque required by a motor shaft to spin a mass at the end of a rod connected to the motor shaft I would use the eqn:
Torque = inertia*angular acceleration
However would there not also be an extra component of torque due to the gravitational weight of the mass?
Thanks in advance
