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 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
