1. Suggest the power rating of the motor to be used on a construction site, to drive two
loads. One load has rotational motion. It is coupled to the motor through a reduction
gear with a gear ratio of 0.1 and an efficiency of 90%. The load has a moment of inertia
of 10 kgm2 and a torque of 10 Nm. Another load has translational motion and consists
of 1000 kg to be lifted up at a uniform speed of 1.5 m/s. The coupling between motor
and load has an efficiency of 85%. Assume that, the motor selected has a moment of
inertia of 0.2 kgm2 and has to run at a constant speed of 1420 rpm. Also, determine
equivalent inertia referred to motor shaft.
(Solution: Equivalent J= 0.4018kgm2, Equivalent TL= 117.4 Nm , Power =17.457kW )
