A solar tracking system uses a stepper motor as an actuator. The stepper faces a constant load torque of 100 oz-in. The step angle is 1.8 degrees. The inertia of the solar collector is 20 oz-inches per s2. If the load needs to be accelerated to 150 steps per second in 1 sec, find the minimum motor torque required to conduct this operation.

What will be an ideal response?


is the rate of acceleration

Load torque is 100 oz-in.
