Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply. I'm comfortable getting the normal force give that data, however I have a question on the initial assumptions. With the kinetic energy being constant, it is the potential energy that is increasing correct. Therefore the equation essentially becomes kinetic...

Hi, I'm trying to model a problem about rolling up a wire. I don't know how to go about setting it up to calculate the Torque required to climb at a given speed. Obviously coefficients of friction, normal forces, and weight will all play a roll but am hoping I can get a hand setting up the...
