L=3.9cm,B=3.9cm,H=2.2cm 

l=3.4cm,b=0.4cm,h=2cm

Volume= 33.46+2.72=36.18cm^3

m=284.013g  

284.013/1000 = 0.28 kg

Force=0.6X0.28X9.81 = 1.65 N

T=1.65 X 0.36 = 0.594 Nm

Tmax = 0.594 X 1.5 = 0.891 Nm

N=0.891 X 100/9.81 = 9.1 rpm

reflection: Through this activity, we understood how to choose a specific motor for our needs so that we don't choose the wrong motor; we can avoid choosing motors with low power for required components.

Mass of the Castor wheel(metal) is 0.018 kg.

Assume motor mass to be 300 gms each. total =600g

Select the material as Mild Steel.

Assume that we will be loading 0.3 kg on the top plate.

thickness = 1mm = 0.1 cm

mue=(rubber and dry cement)=0.85

rho steel = 7.85 g/cm^3

volume= area X thickness

v top plate=11.5 X 10.3 X 0.1cm=11.845 cm^3

v side plate=4.6 X 5.2 X 0.1cm=2.392 cm^3

v side plate=0.8 X 5.2 X 0.1cm=0.416 cm^3

v side plate=2.808 cm^3=2(2.808)-5.616

v front plate=13.53 X 0.1=1.353 cm^3

v front plate=23 X 0.1=2.3 cm^3

v front plate=6.4 X 1 X 0.1=0.64 cm^3

v total = 21.745 cm^3

m plate=7.85 + 21.7456=170.69 gm

170.69/1000 = 0.17069 kg

m=1.089 kg

F=meu X mg

=0.85 X 1.089 X 9.81= 9.0806 N

T=9.0806 X 0.3270 X 0.036

Tmax=1.5 X 0.3270

Tmax=0.49 N-m

Tmax=0.49 X 100/9.81

Tmax/2=2.4 ~ 3.6

we will use the 12v, 1A adapter for

Reflection: This activity helped us learn how to select the right motor for our needs, ensuring we avoid picking motors that lack sufficient power for our components. By understanding which motors to choose, we also learnt how we can prevent the mistake of using wrong adapter.
