Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)
I do, but I figured out some stuff since and it felt like a different question? I assumed for a different question, I'd make a different post :) Sorry, new to this forum.- enigmaticbacon

Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)
I know that EMA is = Fload/Feffort I thought I could rearrange the variables to solve for the Force of Effort. But that obviously didn't work. A capybara cannot pull 88750N.- enigmaticbacon

Converting Effective Mechanical Load to Newtons (Capybara)
Hello again! I've found the capybara's EMA to be 0.71. Their mass to be 55kg. And their average speed to be ~3.0km/h. I want to figure out how many capybaras it would take to overcome Friction * Normal force of ~125,000N. How would I go about doing that...- enigmaticbacon

Ahhh so to see how much stress soil could carry without breaking, I would use the soil's shear strength? Would that also apply were the rock to be pulled?- enigmaticbacon

How many capybaras does it take to move a Stonehenge rock?
I’m writing a presentation for younger students explaining how science can help them satiate their curiosity in a fun way. This presentation’s goal is to apply as much science as possible to a ridiculous question in hopes of promoting STEM fields. My example is, how many capybaras --the world’s...- enigmaticbacon
