    okay now that is correct

    Inertia is kg*m/s^2

    Motor Inertia Simulation

    I do not see how the units work out. ((kg*m^2/s^2)*m*(rad/s))/((m/s^2)*(m/s^2)=kg*m*s not the units of inertia. or bring the rad/s to the denominator instead of the numerator and you get - kg*m*s^3. Maybe I am being ignorant but I do not see how the units work out.

    Motor Inertia Simulation

    I am trying to find an equation that simulates the inertia of a motor using on a brake dynomometer. Currently I have: I=(Pm*RR*9549.3)/(RPM*a*g) where: I - Available inertia, kg-m-s^2 Pm - maximum motor power, typically 150% of rated power, kW RR - I am unsure of what this truely is but my...
