    The document summarizes the torque calculations for a motor, gear reducer, sprocket, and drum system. It states that a 1.5HP motor produces 3.77 ft-lbs of torque which is increased to 226.24 ft-lbs by a 60:1 gear reducer. A sprocket further increases the torque to 522.72 ft-lbs at the slower speed of 0.928 rpm. Finally, it calculates that a torque of 3.213 ft-lbs would be required to accelerate the drum based on its moment of inertia and angular acceleration.
