Answer:
Torque = 8.38Nm
Explanation:
Time= 8.00s
angular speed (w) =400 rpm
Moment of inertia (I)= 1.60kg.m2 about its rotation axis
We need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/ sec for consistency
2PI/60*n = 0.1047*409 = 41.8876 rad/sec
What constant torque is required to bring it up to an angular speed of 40rev/min in a time of 8s , starting from rest?
Then we need to use the formula below for our torque calculation
from basic equation T = J*dω/dt …we get
Where : t= time in seconds
W= angular velocity
T = J*Δω/Δt = 1.60*41.8876/8.0 = 8.38 Nm
Therefore, constant torque that is required is 8.38 Nm
