Cycling Power to Weight Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Cycling Power to Weight Ratio.
CPW = CP / W
- Where CPW is the Cycling Power to Weight Ratio (kW/lb)
- CP is function threshold power (kW)
- W is the your weight (lbs)
How to Calculate Cycling Power to Weight Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Cycling Power to Weight Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the function threshold power (kW).
- The function threshold power (kW) is given as: 100.
- Next, determine the your weight (lbs).
- The your weight (lbs) is provided as: 150.
- Finally, calculate the Cycling Power to Weight Ratio using the equation above:
CPW = CP / W
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
CPW = 100 / 150 = .66 (kW/lb)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
function threshold power (kW) = 70
your weight (lbs) = 150
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
CPW = CP / W = ?
