How do I calculate power in watts when cycling (checking an AI result)?

ByThomasWeuster

Good morning, I would like to show the power of my cycling trips in watts. I'm aware that I'm missing some factors (air resistance, rolling resistance, etc.). ChatGPT showed me this solution: Energy=mass×acceleration of gravity×height difference Time=Speed/Distance Power=time/energy I did the calculations using the following data: 100 km 13.27 km/h 3610 meters of altitude 100…

Use the Hooke law in which you convert F=D*s

You can measure a force F with the person scale and the deflection s caused by the force (here this is a compression of the spring) can be measured with the meter rod. So call together a couple of differently heavy friends, measure their weight (in N and not in kg), put the on the saddle to miss the deflection of the spring (difference from rest length and “compressed” length). With this you make a value table and calculate the quotient F/s. When the experiment is done clean and the feather is really a “hooky feather”, the same value always comes out.

I got one. What’s your idea? I accept that has to do with the leverage law. Let’s see how the length of the spring changes when you put on the saddle, and what force then acts on the spring. This gives you the spring constant by division.
