    School Project Help: FeO3 + Magnets to Solve Water Problem

    I think you should post this in the "Materials and Chemical Engineering" thread instead. Good luck.

    Force on Ball Bearing: Should Torque be Included?

    I think you misunderstood what I said or I wasn't clear enough. Probably the latter, anyway, I acknowledge that the speed would drop thus a deceleration from the starting speed when the router is under load. This would in turn mean that the torque will increase as speed and torque are inversely...

    Force on Ball Bearing: Should Torque be Included?

    Thanks for the reply. The router doesn't have a speed adjustment option and thus can only cut at one speed. So assuming it is at maximum speed at the start, there will be an increase in torque under load due to deceleration when you begin cutting. However this is only momentarily. The shaft...

    Force on Ball Bearing: Should Torque be Included?

    Thank you for your reply. I understand that, but the cutting torque required is less than the torque provided by the motor. The cutting occurs at constant speed as well and thus under load, the shaft still rotates at constant speed. Torque by definition requires force and to have a force, we...

    Force on Ball Bearing: Should Torque be Included?

    I'm trying to work out the free body diagram for a router tool (which is basically used to cut wood sideways and create grooves and interesting shapes). I need to work out the free body diagram in order to find out the bearing load but I'm having difficulty with the aforesaid. The shaft that...

    How to calculate torque required to move a heavy object on wheels

    So the force required to move the aeroplane would be equal to: Total force = (2 x Static frictional coefficient x Normal force) + (mass of the aeroplane x acceleration) The above is under the assumption that front wheels are free to roll and thus no friction developed. The normal force will be...
