I just need a little help going about solving this problem. This is first problem in this lesson, and it is driving me crazy. Any help would be great!
A 3000 lb car is accelerated from 0 to 60mph in 10 seconds. Find the torque needed if the car has wheels of 1 ft. Ans (825 ft lbs)
We know that T (torque) = Force X radius X sin (theta), but it doesn't seem that the equation is helpful in this problem.
Thanks,
Dan
