Thankyou, my rotational axis is horizontal. Do I need to add the torque required to overcome gravity to the torque required to accelerate the mass in a circular motion though? Surely the speed that the mass rotates at affects the torque required by the motor shaft? Thanks again

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me with a quick problem. I should probably know this but for some reason I am getting confused between different points of view: If I wanted to calculate the maximum torque required by a motor shaft to spin a mass at the end of a rod connected...
