Hello everyone, I appreciate all of the help I have received in the past and was hoping someone could confirm my answers to the following problems that I was unsure of. First question: The centripital force on a runner is 17 lb. If the runner weighs 175 lb, and his speed is 14...

Thank you for your explanation. Using your conversions and formula, am I correct in saying that the answer is Torque = 1.64 ft-lbs?

Thank you for your response, I am a bit confused as to how you got 33000HP. Also to get Rad/S, I thought we would take 1600 RPM/60 s = 53.33 RPS * {2{\pi} = 167.467 rad/s Does the N refference Newtons in the divisor, or is it a number or another unit? Also when using HP, we are...

Hello, I have been stuck on what is probably a fairly easy physics question involving Torque. A high speed drill develops 0.500 HP at 1600 RPM. Wjat torque is applied to the drill bit? I have the formula as T=P/Omega P=.5 HP which I am unsure if I need to convert to another...

Thank you for your response, My text doesn't seem to cover that forumula in the energy/work chapter. I did run into formula v=Sq Root(2gh) which would be about 12.1 m/s. When checking the answer in the book, it is 12 m/s but is this an accurate formula to use in the future, or a coinsidence...

Hello, I have been racking my brains on this one, and I am sure it is an easy question for most. My teacher has been skipping chapters and jumping around in our text a lot and I cannot get the formula to solve this problem. If anyone can help me out with a formula I would be very...
