Hi, I am not an engineer nor a physicist but said I would try researching for a friend.
The question is - how do you calculate the breakaway torque for a 16" diameter pipe weighing 1350 pounds?
We are trying to determine what HP engine would be required assuming that the motor shaft would be centered in the pipe and there would be zero friction.
I have found WK² or WR² but am totally confused with the radius of gyration.
Is there a "simple" way of making this determination?
Thanks - hope this question was clear
