Calculating the angular acceleration of a swivel seat

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 6044515, member: 423469"] The equations for linear motion under constant acceleration all have equivalents for rotation under constant angular acceleration. You could assume it accelerates for 7.5 seconds over 45 degrees, then decelerates for 7.5 seconds over the remaining 45 degrees. Then you can calculate the angular acceleration/deceleration required using the equations of motion. S=ut + 0.5at^2 Where S is the angular displacement in radians (45 degrees = pi/4 radians) u is the initial angular velocity (0 radians per second). a is the angular acceleration in radians per second per second t is time in seconds (7.5) Rearrange to get a. The angular acceleration and the moment of inertia can then be used to calculate the torque required. [/QUOTE]
