Sorry about that, I didn't know which place to post it so I did it in both. What I'm trying to figure out is I have a generator and they told me it takes 15HP to keep the generator turning while it is under rated load. I just wanted to know if the masses are large enough and spinning fast...
Homework Statement
I have three metal blocks evenly spaced in a 0.3m circle that attach to a rod in the center of the circle. The rod requires 15HP to keep rotating at 1200RPM. What would the mass of the three blocks spinning at 1200RPMs need to be in order to produce 15HP? My physics class...
When generator has a load on it, it becomes more difficult to turn. So how many N do you need to turn it while it produces 10000W if the drive wheel is 0.3m?
Hi I was hoping someone could tell me the approx. amount of radial force needed to keep a 10000W generator turning while producing maximum output if there is a 1ft pulley connected to it that does the turning.
Thanks
