Hi
I a building an exhibit for a science museum and hoped I could get some help with the math that is puzzling us.
We need to turn three discs that are 1.2m, 0.8 and 0.6m in diameter at a speed of roughly 60rpm. Because it is a musuem they need a clutch and at the minute we are looking at a friction clutch for each disc.
What i need to know is how much torque would be needed to start each of the discs from still?
Hope someone can help
