Homework Statement
I am trying to determine the input I will have on a shaft with a continuous force of 3,720 pounds one foot out from the shaft center.
I am thinking the input continuous torque would be 1 foot being that I am using a 2 foot pulley on the shaft, and I have a continuous 3,720 pound pull on this pulley ;
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
1 foot times 3720 pounds equals 3720 foot pounds.
How do I compute the power input into this? Is it simply converting 3720 foot pounds over a given time element? What time basis is used in wind turbine calcs?
