You are examining a complex motorized mechanism designed to raise a 200N load. While not all of the mechanism is visible, you notice that when you rotate the motor shaft one full revolution, the camera moves up 1 cm. What is the minimum motor torque required for the jack to operate properly?

Solution

The minimum motor torque required for the jack to operate properly = force x distance moved

= 200 x (1/100)

=2 N-m
