kinda a math question

tama nga si wildthing, nahilo pa ko pagcompute :bwahaha:

JAYarc, what's about tranny ratio?

**cyclone** · July 29th, 2004 09:22 AM

imho lang. parang mababa ang 890.87 rpm.
for me i can't run my car up to 100kph without
getting over 1000 rpm. try ninyo kaya in
actual and give your feedback.

sir the_wildthing:

your computation is correct.very well done.

galing ni sir wild hehehehe. sir cyclone yung computation ni sir wild based sa 'ideal' situation. syempre pag may external elements (friction, air pressure sa tire, wind force, etc.) na involved gaya sa 'actual' tataas yung rpm value......

Cyclone and JayArc,

I think what ghosthunter is asking is RPM of the wheel and not the engine, hence tranny ratio is not a factor. And yes, at 5th gear, in most cars at least, engine crank will be turning more than 2000RPM at 100Km/h.

HTH.

BTW, the result is an approximate value also due to rounding (e.g. Pi can be 3.14 or 3.141592654), aside from other "real world" factors.

wilthing, your right, question nga is RPM of the
wheel, i mistook it for the tacometer RPM.

**ghosthunter** · July 29th, 2004 01:48 PM

yup... wheel rpm. I'm trying to do preliminary research on an idea that might be a very good product for us motorist.

Hint: it can save gas AND increase performance depending on how you drive.
