I'm a little confused about the relationship between torque or "moments" in general and power. Torque (or a moment) is expressed in units of force * distances, and power is force * distance / time. So in theory, power should equal Torque / time, no? But apparently not. Instead, power = Torque * velocity, which is equal to force * distance * distance / time, or force * distance^2 / time. Can someone help me understand this? Thanks.

Hello, I'm working on several different ground robot designs, and I've sort of gotten stuck on the issue of suspension. Specifically, how does one determine how strong a suspension system needs to be for a given application? How do you model the forces acting on the drivetrain that need to be counteracted by the suspension? I've researched many types of suspension systems for various types of drivetrains, but while they make sense conceptually, I'm still trying to figure out the numbers to use to reduce it to a standard solid mechanics problem. Thank you for your assistance and any resources.
