    Spinning blade - Effort and Force

    Looking at the specs of the mowers I notice that all are rated to spin at 4300rpm. The three mowers all have the same chassis and only differ in the following: 30cm blade 1400w motor 33cm blade 1450w motor 35cm blade 1500w motor. As all three are rated to run at 4300rpm...

    Spinning blade - Effort and Force

    Spinning blade - Effort and Force

    How do I calculate the force exerted on the fulcrum (center) from a spinning blade and the effort required to spin it. In a practical example: A spinning lawnmower blade. If the blade of length x and mass y was exchanged with a heavier longer blade how much more effort would be required...
