Watts to pounds????

Post by mmayzak » July 16th, 2015, 8:32 pm

Just curious... Is there a way to get a comparison of watts to pounds??

During these sprints I was able to reach 615 watts... Is there any way to relate this to pounds??

Google relationship watts to pounds. Or wait for someone to expound (quote) the same material you can find on your own.

Power = Force x Net Length x Rating / 60, with Force in Newton.

So (say) 615 = F x 1 x 40/60; so F = 922 N or about 95 kg average. Peak force will be about this x root 2.

40 is the rating (?) and 60 is (no ?) seconds/minute.

It's the same as inches to seconds.
