How much torque do I need to move a 50lb object?

[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 6167383, member: 455902"] The torque must accelerate the mass, and it must overcome friction. Nothing you said so far tells us about how fast it accelerates, or how much friction there is in the system. Note that gears use the lever principle to magnify forces or torque, but they also add more friction. [/QUOTE]
