How much weight can you pull?

[imamartian]

And i don't mean "what's the fattest lady you can get off with in Yates's"

I mean as in tug-of-war....

Would you agree we could possibly drag a 150lb rock?
or if on wheels, maybe a ton and a half of car?

but what about on water.... one for the science boffins... is there a formula to work out how big a boat i could drag along a quay?

 

[solo]

Would the quay incorporate a conveyor belt?

 

[imamartian]

yep, and the conveyor moves at the same speed as the water..

 

[tim west]

so its a flying boat?

 

[imamartian]

but if i towed that thing with a rope along a quay, would it take off?

 

[tim west]

Dont be silly it hasnt got any wheels!

 

[imamartian]

nor has Softus, but he can take off !

 

[imamartian]

whoops, i meant megawatt

 

[Soggy_weetabix]

Sorry, no science here.

I can lift 175 kilos with my chest
495 on a leg press.
Can do 275 pressups

BUT can still only last 5 mins when wifey needs me to pump.

Top Gear had a test where they had a Merc, cant remember the model but it was powerful and quick SLR maybe?

They had a team of tug-o-war, 8 men. The car went full power and the tug-o-war team pulled the car backwards!!

Blimey they were fit to do it twice!!

Roll over and do it again. I bet you can't do it a second time in only 5 mins.

I used to watch them (flying boats) taking off and landing on the Solent.
