    Maximum Speed
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum weight that can be moved at a constant speed, using the formula 0.42xmg = 6000 x 360, where mg equals 5142857 N. Participants also explore how to determine the maximum speed for this weight, considering the relationship between power, force, and velocity. A correction is made to the formula, emphasizing that power divided by force equals velocity (v = power/F). The user realizes an error in their calculations, specifically in the conversion of watts and the values used. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate formula application in physics calculations.

a) what is the maximum weight they can move at constant speed?
I used 0.42xmg = 6000 x 360
mg = 5142857 N

b)what is the maximum speed with which they can move this weight?
im thinking power = F / v is used but I keep getting a large number also I've converted hp to watts.

Right.

b)what is the maximum speed with which they can move this weight?

I would change that formula around slightly ...
 
power/F=v

power/F=v

Big improvement! :smile:
 
I see now I was doing 208 watts / 5142857 N
but i was 208/360 N.
Thank you!

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
