I researched the weight of the stones and the height of the platforms and found the average of the numbers I got. From there I calculated the force, the work and from there put that in an equation. After all the calculations, my equation came out to be 10,400/s=Power. I did round all my decimals to make the calculations turn out nicer.Now thinking about it I only calculated the height of the pillar, not the distance of the stones to the pillars- this makes my equation not as accurate as it could be.
Should we just estimate how much the stones weigh and how high the cylinders are?
ReplyDeleteI believe if you research the event or view antilothe video they mention the mass or weight of the stones...
DeleteHi, I am available during lunch if that would be a good time to take my SGO....

ReplyDeleteIt says they range between 100-160kg. Can I just use 160?
