Max Speed for 5142857 N Weight: Calculate Here

In summary, the conversation discusses the maximum weight and speed that can be achieved at a constant speed. The formula 0.42xmg = 6000 x 360 is used to calculate the maximum weight, which is equal to 5142857 N. For the maximum speed, the formula power/F=v is suggested, but the speaker is struggling to get a reasonable number despite converting from horsepower to watts. The formula is then suggested to be rearranged to achieve a better result.

a) what is the maximum weight they can move at constant speed?
I used 0.42xmg = 6000 x 360
mg = 5142857 N

b)what is the maximum speed with which they can move this weight?
im thinking power = F / v is used but I keep getting a large number also I've converted hp to watts.

Right.

I would change that formula around slightly ...

I see now I was doing 208 watts / 5142857 N
but i was 208/360 N.
Thank you!
 

Related to Max Speed for 5142857 N Weight: Calculate Here

1. What is the formula for calculating max speed for a weight of 5142857 N?

The formula for calculating max speed for a weight of 5142857 N is v = √(2gh), where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height.

2. How do I determine the units for the max speed calculation?

The units for the max speed calculation will depend on the units used for the weight and height. Generally, the units for velocity are meters per second (m/s).

3. Can the max speed be calculated for any weight?

Yes, the max speed can be calculated for any weight as long as it is in Newtons (N) and the other variables in the formula (acceleration due to gravity and height) are known.

4. How does the weight affect the max speed?

The weight affects the max speed by increasing the force acting on the object and thus increasing the acceleration due to gravity. A heavier weight will result in a higher max speed, assuming the other variables in the formula remain constant.

5. What factors can influence the accuracy of the max speed calculation?

The accuracy of the max speed calculation can be influenced by factors such as air resistance, friction, and the accuracy of the measurements for weight and height. Additionally, the formula assumes a constant acceleration due to gravity, which may not be the case in real-world scenarios.
