    How to calculate torque of a rotating wheel at constant angular speed?

    Suppose there is a rotating wheel at constant angular speed, i.e, 1000 RPM (Revolution Per Minute). What is the torque of Earth at certain location? The equator should have the maximum torque value. I find the angular speed w by 1000 x 2Pi rad x 1 / 60s = 104.71 rad/s Assume M is the mass of...
