Re: Turning torque

Something is not making sense. A 1500 lb load with 0.002 in^2 is 750KSI which is about 10X the yield strength of many quality steels.

In general the calcualtion for torque would be the force of a specific point, times its coefficient of friction, times the radius from the axis of rotation.
