Power Calculation
XBoat calculates power as the amount of force applied to the handle, multiplied by the distance it travels (arc length), per second.
The calculation assumes the force is applied at the tip of the handle and is accomplished in three mathematical steps:
Step 1: Calculate Handle Arc Length
ArcLength (m) = 2 * π * InboardLength (m)Step 2: Calculate Work
Work (j) = ArcLength (m) * Force (n)Step 3: Calculate Power
Power (w) = Work (j) / StrokeTime (s)
