Hi all, got a little physics problem that I wonder if anyone could help me with.
I'm using an accelerometer to record the rate of acceleration of a vehicle over time (1500kg). With this data I am calculating speed and distance traveled over time. I'm now trying to figure out a way to calculate either the torque or the power produced by the engine over time (I can calculate the other using recorded rpm @ the time). Drive train losses, rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag will all play their part, but I shall ignore these presently till I figure out this first bit.
Thanks much for reading.
