now for the wagons a wagon fully loaded weighs 12400 lbs (max weight of the wagon +weight of the wagon), divided by the number of horses (upto 7) would need a minimum of 6 horses to move at 12 miles a day along a cleared path, and a 7th wouldn't increase it's speed. (7 horses make it 1771.4 lbs...

so had some time to work some more on this. looked up lengths and what not. The length of the wagon, with a team of 7 horses is roughly 34 feet. and it takes them about 11 feet to be able to turn around, so the wagons wouldn't be useful for the first 45 feet of clearing. Based on the rules of...

with the way the question was phrased to me, i was assuming that the debris would all be stackable to get the maximum weight in, reguardless of the size of the wagon, to simplify the problem some.

Well, in the system that the question was posed, it is given that a person can go at maximum 30 miles a day if carrying less than 15 lbs, 24 if carrying upto 100 lbs and 18 if carrying upto 150 lbs.. It is assumed they can reach anything within 5 feet without using any movement and wagons can...

well, believe it or not, this is not from any class. This was a question posed to me by my dungeons and dragons group because i was the best at math. best if can figure for transporting everything to Point B would be to take the awnser for point A, then add however much time it would take to...

Homework Statement You are trying to clean up a mess. This mess extends along a 28 mile path between points A and B. You have 61 workers (including yourself) that can lift upto 150 lbs. You have up to 4 wagons that can carry a total of 12000 lbs each, and weigh 400 lbs each, pulled buy upto 7...

from the way the problem is worded it seems that the acceleration is constant, reaching the final velocity that the 1000lbs of force would produce after traveling the distance of 30.66 inches in 7.5 seconds, so the initial velocity would be 0, with the final velocity of the launch having to be...

My name is lee ormond. I have always had an interest in math and science. I try to keep my mind sharp with random applications of math or science to various things i deal with in life. I have been out of school for over a decade due to taking care of sick parents and siblings.

Homework Statement I am to figure out the maximum vertical distance and the maximum horizontal distance for an object thrown, as well as how long it take to get there. The information given is the weight of the object, the pounds of force used to launch the object, the distance for the total...
