Let's say I have the mass m=2kg. I have the disc radius, let's say r0 = 0.15m. I want to find which would be the force needed by the user to perform the exercise. I will assume, like the paper did, accelerations ranging from 1 to 10m/s². So now I need Rt, but giving I will build this thing, I...

Could you clarify a little more? Rt is supossed to be 1'' then, what means, 0.0254 meters ? And R0 is what, the radius of the disc? In this case, 0.3048 and 0.1524, or not? At the end I just want to understand how I will apply the formula to my case, with only one single disc, giving I have the...

What do you mean?

any help?

Ok I find out one issue from the equation I was trying. Ro is the big radius, and not Rt. So: m = 2 * ( 2670N / 4m/s² ) * (0.1524² / 0.3048² ) = 1335 * 0.25 Kg = 333.75 So this is basically 100times the amount of mass that is posted on the table 333.8 vs 3.338. Why is 100 times more? Why would...

Hello guys, I'm looking for some help. I'm reading a paper called "On Flywheel Leg Press Design and its Benefits". I'm interested in calculate the forces that a flywheel machine that I'm building (used for gym exercises) will require the user to use it. Following this paper, they start to...
