Calculations need to know if my drill will go through or not

AI Thread Summary
To determine if an electric drill can penetrate a wall, key calculations involve comparing wall thickness to drill length, where if wall thickness exceeds drill length, penetration is impossible. Additional factors include torque, force, horsepower, and friction, which all influence the drill's performance. Understanding these parameters helps assess whether the drill will rotate effectively or stall. Theoretical proof requires a comprehensive analysis of these elements in relation to the specific wall material and drill specifications. For detailed calculations and theories, a recommended resource is provided for further reading.

hi guys, i wanted to know all the calculations needed to to know if my electric drill will drill through a wall or not?

can you explain to me more on this, what I'm exactly asking just to clear things that what are the calculations needed to be made to know if my drill with work or just won't rotate. torque, force, horsepower, friction force everything. theoretical proof that examines all aspects of the drill and wall to know by calculations if it rotates or not? sorry for asking too much but i would really appreciate it if you could provide me with all of this if you have the time.
thanks
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
