I am currently designing a solar tracking system. I have a motor rotating a cylindrical beam. Forces acting on the beam are located as follow:
Force one: acting on the top of the beam -solar panel (fixed on the beam)
Force two: acting on the bottom of the beam.-caster holder. (stand fix to the ground)
I need to know:
1) how to calculate the torque provided to the beam from the motor.
2) how to calculate forces acting on the beam from the panel and the caster stand.
