Calculate Speed to Weight Ratio



Formula

To calculate the Speed to Weight Ratio (\(SWR\)):

\[ SWR = \frac{V}{W} \]

What is Speed to Weight Ratio?

The Speed to Weight Ratio (SWR) is a measure of how fast an object can move relative to its weight. It is calculated by dividing the total velocity by the total weight. This ratio is often used in automotive and aerospace industries to evaluate the performance of vehicles and aircraft.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SWR = \frac{120}{3000} = 0.04 \text{ mph/lb} \]

The Speed to Weight Ratio is 0.04 mph/lb.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ SWR = \frac{150}{2500} = 0.06 \text{ mph/lb} \]

The Speed to Weight Ratio is 0.06 mph/lb.
