I am struggling to understand how the units equate to NM in the formula below when calculating torque requirement for a motor.
torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration
Given that:-
units for Torque=Nm
units for Moment of inertia=kg/m2
units for angular acceleration=radians/sec2...
Please refer to the attached .pdf sketch.
I have a component of mass 7.5 (74730N) Tonne mounted in a frame.
The frame is connected to a shaft mounted on bearings.
The shaft carries a large sprocket which is driven by a transmission chain via a small sprocket connected to the motor.
The...
