You wish to buy a motor that will be used to lift a30-kg bundle of shingles from the ground to the roof of a house. The shingles are to have a1.5-m/s2 upward acceleration at the start of the lift. The very light pulley on the motor has a radius of 0.13m . Determine the minimum torque that the motor must be able to provide.

the minimum value of torque is 101.7 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bundle of shingles, m = 30 kg

Upward acceleration of the shingles,

The radius of the motor of the pulley, r = 0.3 m

Let T is the tension acting on the shingles when it is lifted up. It can be calculated as :

T-mg=ma

T=m(g+a)

Let is the minimum torque that the motor must be able to provide. It is given by :

the minimum value of torque is

does anyone know or what?
