Yes Jeff has my basic description covered quite well. Frictionless hole through the diameter with a rod inserted into that hole. basically tip the cylinder onto one of its flats, then insert a rod through it from left to right, directly through the middle of the cylinder. then tip it back up...

I am playing with math and physics during my off-time at work, and I am wondering how to calculate a specific force, or if I am even looking at it correctly. Here it is. A rod through a cylinder's radius so that if it is off to one side causes rotational force equal to the difference in foot...

lol now that you put it that way, it's kinda easy. thanks.

glue small pointy objects to his/her palms lol.

Okay, here is my hypothetical situation. Let's say there is a cylinder and we're looking at it with the round side facing us. Its diameter is 48in. There is a 48in rod going through that cylinder(with the ends shaped so that it conforms to the circumference of the cylinder) from the left side...
