PhanthomJay said:You're missing the eqaution for rotational equilibrium, the sum of moments about any point = 0. Are you at all familiar with moments or torques, and the calculation of their directions and values?
"Force Calculated" is a computer simulation program that uses mathematical equations and data input from real-life surfboard designs and conditions to calculate the force and performance of a surfboard on a wave.
The program uses data such as the surfboard's dimensions, weight, and material, as well as the wave's size, shape, and speed, to calculate the force and performance of the surfboard.
While the program uses advanced algorithms and data, it cannot account for all variables and factors that may affect a surfboard's performance. Therefore, its predictions should be used as a general guide rather than an exact representation.
The program allows surfboard designers to test different designs and conditions without physically creating and testing each board. This can save time and resources and aid in creating more efficient and high-performance surfboards.
No, the program can be used by anyone interested in understanding the physics and performance of surfboards on waves. It can also be a helpful tool for beginners in choosing the right surfboard for their skill level and conditions.
