Converting axial pressure to centripetal force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding how to convert axial pressure from a spring force applied at the center of a wheel into centripetal force. The setup involves a motor pulling the wheel with a rope, while the spring force acts to prevent the wheel from rotating, similar to a brake. There is confusion regarding the mechanics of the wheel's drive and the spring's mounting. Participants are requesting a diagram to clarify the configuration and dynamics of the system. Overall, the focus is on calculating the centripetal force resulting from the spring's axial pressure in this specific mechanical setup.

I am working on a case where a spring foce is applied to the center of wheel . the wheel is pulled by a motor with a rope tied on the wheel.

I know the spring force in the centere of the wheel.
how can i know the centripetla force exerted by it

I do not understand how you drive the wheel or how the spring is mounted.
Can you please provide a diagram of the setup.

The Spring applies some load to prevent the wheel from rotating lie a brake
Motor pulls the wheel in front direction.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
