Weight LiftingThe formula can be used toestimatethe maximum total mass that a weight lifter of mass B kilograms can lift in two lifts, the snatch and theclean and jerk, combined. Original formula Use a calculator. Example 7-4a According to theformula, what is the maximum that U.S. WeightlifterOscar Chaplin III can lift if he weighs 77 kilograms? Answer:The formula predicts that he can lift at most 372 kg.
Weight LiftingThe formula can be used toestimatethe maximum total mass that a weight lifter of mass B kilograms can lift in two lifts, the snatch and theclean and jerk, combined. Example 7-4b Oscar Chaplin’s total in the 2000 Olympics was 355 kg. Compare this to the value predicted by the formula. Answer:The formula prediction is somewhat higher than his actual total.
Weight LiftingUse the formula where M is the maximum total mass that a weight lifter of mass B kilograms canlift. a. According to the formula, what is the maximum that a weight lifter can lift if he weighs 80 kilograms? b. If he actually lifted 379 kg, compare this to the value predicted by the formula. Example 7-4c Answer:380 kg Answer:The formula prediction is slightly higher than his actual total.
