Scale Speed Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Scale Speed.
SS = RS / SQRT(S)
Variables:
- SS is the Scale Speed (mph)
- RS is the real speed (mph)
- S is the scale
To calculate a scale speed, divide the real speed by the square root of the scale.
How to Calculate Scale Speed?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Scale Speed.
- First, determine the real speed (mph).
- Next, determine the scale.
- Next, gather the formula from above = SS = RS / SQRT(S).
- Finally, calculate the Scale Speed.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
real speed (mph) = 100
scale = 2.5
SS = RS / SQRT(S) = ?
