How to work out frictional torque and resisting motion

Click For Summary
To calculate frictional torque and resisting motion in a scenario where a mass is suspended from a flywheel, one must consider the forces acting on the mass and the flywheel's rotational dynamics. Key formulas include Newton's second law for linear motion and the relationship between torque, radius, and force. The frictional torque can be determined by analyzing the net torque acting on the flywheel, factoring in the moment of inertia and angular acceleration. Additionally, understanding the coefficients of friction and how they relate to the resisting motion is crucial. Accurate calculations will require precise measurements of mass, distance fallen, and time taken.

how to work out "frictional torque" and "resisting motion"

Hi there,
if I have a scenario were a Mass is suspended from a flywheel. If the mass is released from rest and falls a distance in an amount of time.

how would i work out the
frictional torque
and resisting motion

does anyone know what formulas i would need.

help would be much appreciated



thanks a lot

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
