Calculating Bearing Friction Torque in Winding Drum System

[Simon.T]

I am familiar with the basics concept of kinetic friction (such as pushing a box on a surface), but how do you calculate the friction torque caused by a bearing for example?

In my college assignment, I have been told the bearings in a winding drum have a coefficient of friction of 0.04 (bearing size 200mm OD). The drum is 2.5m OD, and I know the load force on the outside of the drum (lets call it F). The torque caused by the load on its own is 1.25*F. Is the torque caused by the bearing friction therefore ((1.25*F)/0.1)*0.04?

I hope this made some sense...

Any help at all would be appreciated.

check your units ... I think you have a Force there, not a torque.
what Force would it be?

Friction force?
