ah but the rope is between 5 and 9 feet in length for the long drop (to which the Newtons is accurate) that's why i thought it might be longer =\ still a little flabberghasted though :s

would you happen to know the formula by the way?

yeah sorry about that, i just didn't mention it becuase i know some people become quite squeemish about such topics. an average estimate would be at about 2-3 seconds i guess =S

i didnt quite think it did, sorry about that. im doing a project on the death penalty (not a nice topic i know), in particular hanging, and I am trying to find out what an average drop distance is. i can find the amount of force that the rope needs to apply to the neck when the slack is used up...

hi, I am not really sure where this belongs, and being a complete noob at physics, i was just enquiring if someone could inform em of the formula to calculate the distance an object weighing 80kg would need to fall in order to be effected by 4,400 Newtons?
