    Flywheel Load
AI Thread Summary
To simulate a load of .104 slug-feet squared, the weight and radius of the flywheel can vary, as a larger radius with a smaller weight can yield similar results to a smaller radius with a larger weight. The moment of inertia formula, which depends on the flywheel's geometry, is crucial for these calculations. Participants noted the complexity of using US units for such measurements. Understanding the relationship between weight, radius, and moment of inertia is essential for accurate simulation. Proper calculations will help achieve the desired load effectively.

Any one can help with the following, i need to know the weight and radius of flywheel that will simulated a load of .104 slug-feet squared, calculation base in friction
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is no fixed weight and radius, a larger radius and smaller weight will give similar results as a smaller radius and larger weight.
There is a formula for the moment of inertia of flywheels (it depends on the geometry).

Those US-units are weird...
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
