Cylinder Drum

AI Thread Summary

To determine the motor power needed to move a cylinder drum with a diameter of 1.2m, length of 1.5m, and a thickness of 2mm carrying a total load of 200kg, one must calculate the required torque and power transmission. The application involves using the cylinder drum to lower the humidity percentage of garbage. Factors such as friction, load weight, and the desired speed of movement will influence the calculations. Understanding these parameters is essential for selecting an appropriate motor. Accurate calculations will ensure efficient operation of the cylinder drum in its intended application.

Base on the question, i would like to know the the torque,power transmission needed .

diameter of cylinder: 1.2m
length of cylinder:1.5m
thickness of the drum: 2mm
total load carry: 200kg

how to determine the motor power needed?

it can consider as homework..the cylinder drum used to lower the humidity percentage of garbage.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
