Kg/s

[Classik]

Try to make this forum more fun. Can you give us some example here: stuff that operate on this Kg/s (kilogram per second)?

Common examples

Some 700yrs ago one of our lecturers gave such examples and demanding answers from students. He was a strange man.

How 'bout: measure of rate of weight gain when eating at McDonald's? :D

:toofunny Excellent example.

For a minute there, I thought you were asking kg/sec^2. There is "something" that has those units as a description of a part. Clue: telling time.

Nope: kg/sec:waving

kg/sec can be a sort of flow rate, e.g. a dump truck dumping off stone can be measured in those terms. That's a common example. Multiply this rate by the seconds it took to dump the stone and you have the total weight dropped.

It think too complex at times, as for the kg/sec^2, these are the units for a spring constant (Hooke's Law). Of course such springs are used in mechanical clocks in lieu of pendulums since a weight bouncing on a spring gives simple harmonic motion.

Whenever we see "per second" that's a form of velocity or flow. Per second squared is a form of acceleration (related to force)

I know that because as you know I'm into sundials, but that's more of a gnomonist, albeit I understand physics somewhat, also. A horologist builds and repairs clocks, and as such I do not think many of them are into the theoretical aspect of orbital motion and similar time-related mathematics, but they are into the mechanical aspects of clocks, one being knowledgeable about Hooke's Law. I dabbled a little into clocks, and I collected some and right now have strange clocks working around here.

The rate of relativistic mass increase as an object approaches the speed of light.

yeah, i can when ever you start your car that runs on gas and it has a mass airflow sensor. that is what the scan tool shows the maf reading to be. it will say 6kg/s. or a freq that you can convert to what the mass of air is.

6 kg of air is alot usually 4kg is the highest you get. i should post info on the wheatsone bridge and how that works.

You always have such a tremendous sense of.... thanks
