Power Clean

Mass = 330lbs or 726kg
Either Velocity = 1.2m/s or time = 1.2s, not sure which. Can you solve it both ways

Is that enough to give you Power output?
Do you need acceleration? Something else?

Reason I asked is because my lil bro got to watch mr. Fournette go beast mode on some PCs today with Moffitt and sent me a text saying he "PC'd 330lbs in 1.2". He was thinking 1.2 meant seconds but that's pretty irrelevant for an "end game" measurement. figured it had to mean velocity, but that doesn't account for the 330. And now I'm curious about what kinda power output that was.

FYI - It's measured in Watts for things like this if that helps you brainiacs

Odds this is the 1st physics question on the Rant?

Probably the first. Definitely the hardest.

He coulda said any random # & I woulda been like "wow, LF is a beast". But really, it's just arbitrary #s unless there's something else to compare it to

Power is gonna be force times displacement divided by time.
Force is mass times acceleration.
You can do the math. I'm lazy.

Answering your question: acceleration would be an ideal piece of information to do this problem.

Eta: the 1.2 is probably the time it took. Which could give you average velocity, but not really acceleration.

Yeah that math is great but no less than 10 guys on the OT did 330 for 8 reps in .01 secs

. The machine they use doesn't give that as an output though. It's really not a big deal, just thought it was a CSB, lol

Id rather calculate these.

In an interview with Moffitt in which he spoke about the strength and conditioning test of all the players coming into summer, he said Fournette had a good mix of power and strength. He said that Joe Addai was the most powerful back LSU ever had and that Michael Ford was the strongest back LSU ever had.

If my math is right, he generated around 195 Newtons of force. Now, I don't know what to compare that to

Well that's a cool thing to read. I didn't know Ford was strongest. I would've thought Charles Scott or Alley Broussard.
