    Calculating the speed of a crane (using pythagoras) with different x & y speeds

    Thank you for the reply Apphysicist :) Ahh right, i see. Tried out your method and got the following: ZDistance = SQRT(42 + 62) = 7.211 ZSpeed = SQRT(402 + 12.52) = 41.907 t=d/v = 7.211/41.907 = 0.17min That seems a bit quick doesn't it? given that the previous results were: X-Time...

    Calculating the speed of a crane (using pythagoras) with different x & y speeds

    Hi, Homework Statement I'm designing a C++ program to simulate the operation of a steel processing warehouse. Part of my code requires me to calculate the time it takes for a crane to move certain distances (mainly diagonal ones) across a large shelving rack. Homework Equations The...
