    how to work out "frictional torque" A Mass of 0.5 kg is suspended from a flywheel. If the mass is released from rest and falls a distance of 0.5 m in 1.5 s, calculate the tension on the rope the frictional torque, resisting motion Mass of flywheel = 3 kg radius of wheel = 300mm radius of gyration = 121mm so this is what i have worked out so far

  3. Force of friction between wheel and axle - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/force-of-friction-between-wheel-and-axle.349142

    Welcome to the PF. The basic equation for frictional force is F = mu * N, where mu is the friction coefficient, and N is the normal force. For the case of the wheel on the axle, you will need to figure out the distribution of the normal force as a function of the angle. Max force on top and tapering off as you get to the sides of the axle.

    The average frictional force is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction, which is a measure of the roughness or smoothness of the surfaces, by the normal force, which is the force exerted on an object by a surface perpendicular to that object.

  5. Frictional Force Equation Doesn't Make Sense - Physics Forums

    A differential equation of frictional force is derived using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. By considering the forces acting on an object in contact with a surface, and using the definition of frictional force, a differential equation can be formed.
