AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque required to accelerate a 20kg flywheel with a radius of gyration of 95mm from rest to 800 RPM in 40 seconds, one must first determine the moment of inertia (I) and the angular acceleration (α). The moment of inertia can be calculated using the formula I = m * k², where m is the mass and k is the radius of gyration. The angular acceleration is found by converting the final RPM to radians per second and dividing by the time taken. The torque can then be calculated using the formula torque = I * α. The total number of revolutions made during the acceleration can also be derived from the angular displacement during this time.

a flywheel has a mass of 20kg and radius of gyration 95mm
what torque would be needed to accelerate it from rest to 800rev/min in 40seconds??
how many revelutions would it make during its process??

This can be found pretty easily on google, it also sounds like a textbook question.

What do you think is invloved in solving this?
 
everything is given. what else do you need? Find I & accl.
torque = I.Accl
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
