What minimum force F applied horizontally at the axle of the wheel is necessary to raise the wheel over an obstacle of height h? Take r as the radius of the wheel and W as its weight.
We know torque is equal to the radius x perpendicular force
T = rFnet
I think I have to find angular acceleration, α.
T = rma
T = rmα
T = rm(αr)
T = α(mr^2)
ΣT = αΣ(mr^2)
am I on the right track so far?
How do I incorporate height into this, do I want to find angular acceleration in the y direction?
