    Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)

    I do, but I figured out some stuff since and it felt like a different question? I assumed for a different question, I'd make a different post :) Sorry, new to this forum.

    Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)

    I know that EMA is = Fload/Feffort I thought I could rearrange the variables to solve for the Force of Effort. But that obviously didn't work. A capybara cannot pull 88750N.

    Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)

    Hello again! I've found the capybara's EMA to be 0.71. Their mass to be 55kg. And their average speed to be ~3.0km/h. I want to figure out how many capybaras it would take to overcome Friction * Normal force of ~125,000N. How would I go about doing that...

    How many capybaras does it take to move a Stonehenge rock?

    Ahhh so to see how much stress soil could carry without breaking, I would use the soil's shear strength? Would that also apply were the rock to be pulled?

    How many capybaras does it take to move a Stonehenge rock?

    I’m writing a presentation for younger students explaining how science can help them satiate their curiosity in a fun way. This presentation’s goal is to apply as much science as possible to a ridiculous question in hopes of promoting STEM fields. My example is, how many capybaras --the world’s...
