wow thanks a lot for the reply!
so if i understand correctly as long as the geometries on the pulleys are similar its basically I = MR^2
B1
I = 3.125 lbs * inch^2
B2
I = 4.6875 lbs * inch^2
B3
I = 3.0625 lbs * inch^2
B4
I = 9.1875 lbs * inch^2
i'm going to see if i can find out...
Can anyone help me figure out this question? I swear this isn't homework! I am actually from a car forum and would like to understand some basic principles behind car engine pulleys.
Pulley A drives another pulley Bx via a belt.
Pulley A
diameter:15inches
weight: 1lbs
applied torque...
