    Axial force of cone on two rollers

    I have a technical challenge, where I need to properly evaluate the axial force of the cylinder (D) rolling on two rollers (d). Data of axial force is needed, because I need to properly design the front and back stopper for the pipe. And because of lack of space (too much to explain here) it is...
