Re: The physics of pushing
You're looking for:
Torque applied to wheels (in*lbs)/Radius of Wheel (in) = Pushing Force (lbs)
Assuming you're not slipping.
I'd also ding about 5% per gearing stage you have (gears sets and sprocket/chain sets). Easiest way is to multiply your end result by 0.95^(number of gear reductions). You can apply more realistic numbers with some minor research.
