I am about to spend big bucks so I would like you
young engineers that grew up on meters Kg Newtons
to check some numbers for me.
radius = .9685 inches meters = 0.0245999000
Circumference = 6.085 meters = 0.154559000
RPM = 10,000
1545.59 m/min /60 = 25.7598 m/s
Velocity = 25.7598 meters per second
Weight .3233 pounds Kg = 0.146646413
Force Newtons = m x V^2 / r
= 0.146646413 x 25.7598^2 / 0.0245999000
= 3955.70 N
1 N = 0.224808944 lb - force
so
3955.7 N = 889.3 lb
m in Kg
V in meters per second
Force in Newtons 3955.7
Force in pounds 889.3
I think the answer is 88 pounds.
Hi Paul,
I got the numbers above using

conversion factors.

Life was simpler for me when all I had to do was deal in inches and pounds.
I am getting too old to learn new tricks.
So far we have had:
88 Pounds
141 pounds
889 pounds
889 pounds
