AI Thread Summary
To determine the mass of a motor needed for a specific torque, it's essential to consult motor datasheets for options that meet the torque requirement. Lighter motors capable of producing the desired torque tend to be more expensive due to the use of higher quality magnets. Creating a chart that correlates weight and torque from various manufacturers can provide valuable insights. This approach helps in identifying the best motor options based on performance and cost. Understanding these factors is crucial for selecting the right motor for specific applications.

I'm sorry if this in the wrong section but I'm rather desperate

How do you figure out the mass of a motor to have a specefic torque?

I'd start by looking at datasheets for the motors that are close to what I want. The lighter ones that make the required torque will be more expensive, because they will use higher quality magnets.

You can probably plot a chart of weight versus torque, based on some datasheets at manufacturers' websites, and based on what kind of magnets they use.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
