Question

A 28 year old male with a mass of 75kg is completing his final stage of a PWC170 test at a power of 100 W and an average heart rate of 166 bpm.What is the tension he must provide in order to maintain his current workload. He is at 50 rev/min during the test , and at 1.5kp.

options:

40 N

2.5 kp

2.0 kp

Missing the rev/min.

5.0 kp

Answer 1

The tension the student must provide in order to maintain his current workload is 40 N.

The student asked how much tension a 28-year-old male of mass 75kg must provide to maintain his current workload of 100 W at a rate of 50 rev/min and a tension of 1.5kp during a PWC170 test. The PWC170 test is a Physical Working Capacity test that measures the heart rate response at a workload of 170 beats per minute.

The tension that the student must provide in order to maintain his current workload can be calculated using the formula:

Tension = Power/Velocity

= 100 W / (2π * 0.833 m/s)

= 40 N

So, the correct option is 40 N.
