I am still confused by this. Unlike a rigid attachment, an actuator would still consume power to remain in position as long as there is a load (here that is F=ma during the acceleration). So how would I then calculate this power requirement.

Hello all, new member here. Signed up cause I am stumped by a physics problem. I am trying to size a linear actuator. Basically I have a large body that is accelerating at acceleration in x direction. I have a linear actuator aligned in the x direction that is rigidly attached to the large body...
