Hi group. To reduce prototype weight in pounds to ounces, there are a
couple of ways. (1/(64*64*64) or 1/64*1/64*1/64 = each one gives you
0.0381. Multiply that by the number of pounds. Multiply that number
by 16, and you have ounces in weight for S. I.E. - a 48000 pound car
weighs 2.93

How in the world did 48,000 pounds get translated into 2.93 ounces? .Just
out of curiosity, how can the weight of the prototype be reduced to an
equivalent weight of a model?
We'be been thru this before, and it still
Can your calculator handle dividing a number by 64 three times in sucession?
(And don't forget there are 16 oz to the lb.)

using your handy-dandy computer's calculator utility, multiply 64 three times
and then press the 1/X button.
Voila... .03814697.
Hello fellow S Scalers,
With the recent posts about the Kaslo Budd cars. I
decided to post a couple of photos of the Budd coaches
that the late Josh Seltzer produced some years back.
I decorated these up for the Santa Fe and presented
them to my Father for his birthday last year. I

Tom,
Not to go Physics Teacher on, but you asked, so here goes. The
formula for computing the force of gravity between two objects is a
constant times the first mass times the second mass divided the
distance separating the centers of mass squared. (Not being able to
type formulas
We had a calculator but we used the batteries in one of the wireless throttles.
Priorities.
