Ok, so I'm doing an engineering project for a carousal and need to spec a motor, therefor I need to know how much torque I need to turn the center shaft of the carousal at 10rpm. If the bearing is considered frictionless how do I find the answer.
Lets say the carousal weights 300lbs, with an additional 60lbs on each side (weight of the rider) at 1.5ft from the center.
The center shaft is 6in in diameter if that matters.
