SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating rotational forces in motor dynamics, specifically using the formula F = T/R, where F is the force, T is the torque, and R is the radius from the motor shaft. The example provided illustrates that with a motor torque of 10Nm, the force at point A (0.1m from the center) is 100N, while the force at point B (0.5m from the center) is 20N. The diagram accompanying the discussion clarifies the relationship between the motor, shaft, and attached beam.
