Thanks for the input. But, I was wondering the evenly distributed mass of circular disc shape would have static torque zero but the beam that I am working with would have static torque zero only when the arm is horizontal or vertical.
I am building this lifting and rotating arm, considering the arm to lift and rotate uniformly distributed load of 20 lb/in over the length of 45 in. ( having center of pivot at 22.5 in. ) what kind of max torque should I expect as it is rotated from horizontal ( equilibrium position ) and...
