I have a 30000 lb cart with 8" steel wheels on a steel surface, that I need to pull and push out of a large oven. How would you go about determining the force required to pull the cart out of the oven?
CruiserFJ62 said:I am trying to determine the force so that I can put together a motor and gear train to pull it. Currently I am using a forklift to tow it.
The rolling resistance, 0.74 sounds like the sliding friction.CruiserFJ62 said:That is the equation that I was using, but i was using the static coeff for steel on steel of .74. What are the coeff that you listed above?
The formula for calculating the force required to move a 30000lb cart is Force = Mass x Acceleration. In this case, the mass is 30000lbs and the acceleration can be determined based on the terrain and any external forces acting on the cart.
The mass of a 30000lb cart can be determined by using a scale or other measuring device. Alternatively, you can also calculate the mass by dividing the weight (30000lbs) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2).
The force required to move a 30000lb cart can be affected by various factors such as the weight of the cart, the terrain it is on, the presence of any external forces (such as friction or wind), and the type of surface the cart is moving on.
The force required to move a 30000lb cart can vary on different terrains. Rough and uneven terrains will require more force to move the cart compared to smooth and flat surfaces. This is because rough terrains create more resistance and friction, making it harder for the cart to move.
Yes, there is a limit to the force that can be applied to move a 30000lb cart. This limit is determined by the maximum force that the cart can withstand without causing damage. It is important to carefully consider the limitations of the cart to avoid any potential damage or accidents.
