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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
