Homework Statement
How much work per step per leg in the race? How much work must he (single leg) squat to equate 1 step of work in the race?
The given variables are:
Displacement: 100 meters
Time: 9.65 seconds
runners weight in kg= ?
100 steps to complete 100m race, alternating legs.
Homework Equations
Force= Mass x Acceleration
Work = Force x Displacement
Acceleration = change in velocity/ change in time
velocity = displacement/ time
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
The problem was for usian bolt. so I google usain bolts mass in kg to be 94.
I calculated force per leg to be 94 x 9.81 = 922.14N
I then calculated work to be 922.14N x 1 (one step for one meter) = 922.14 JI'm not sure if any of this is correct or where to go from here. Can anyone help out?[/B]
