how to calculate total distance in m and ft; the how to
calculalte the work in Nxm units or Joules; or into
ft x lbs; measure the time needed to rapidly ascent the 2
flights of stairs, converting to power in watts, J/s, or ft x lbs
per
second. The final step is to convert watts to horse power
or ft-lbs per second into horse power.
