Torque problem
Torque problem
(OP)
For a project we need to specify the torque required to uprighten a structure when rotated to a certain angle. The structure is located at a distance where the torque can be applied. However, I have no clue where to start. Can somebody help me solving this problem or giving me some guidance. I deliberately left out any variables/properties, but if required I can give you some properties of the pipe and structure.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Martin

RE: Torque problem
W = weight of the structure
angle = angle of rotation reference from the vertical.

Chicopee, how do you calculate that part of the torsion as a result of the pipe twisting? I presume that it has a relation with the distance the location where the torque will be applied and location of the CoG and the geometry (cross section) of yhe pipe?
Many thanks in advance,
Martin
