Ok, so just divide torque by the radius to get the force and then apply f=ma. That's easy enough.

How can I incorporate the mass of the vehicle in the equation?

Homework Statement I am trying to figure out how to determine a vehicle's translational acceleration given a torque at the wheels so that I can determine what effect wheel diameter and mass will have on the ultimate translational acceleration. Homework Equations F = Ma I*alpha =...

Alright, thanks for your reply. I see that it can be interpreted the way he intended but I think that both interpretations are correct according to the English language (Although I still feel that my way would be "more correct" haha). The problem is really the use of the word "when." I think...

After getting my engineering dynamics test back today, I really don't agree with what my professor says. To me, the first sentence implies that there will be no force when the cylinder is at rest, and therefore the spring will NOT be stretched initially. To me, the word subjectED implies that...
