Car jack evolution - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk Community
2008年11月14日 · Bumper jacks are ,luckly, history.The asian cars started the sissor jacks for compactness and weight considerations. Old VW’s with their fit in only one opening were on par with the bumpers. I always carried a telescoping hydraulic jack. Never used much,AAA was only a call away.Seems that a jack was never a real safety concern with car makers.
Calculate Power of Car Jack | Physics Problem Help - 250-W …
2004年11月2日 · P_{1} and P_{2} are the power of the car jack in the first and second scenarios, and t_{1} and t_{2} are the times it takes for the car to be lifted in the first and second scenarios.In summary, a car jack is used to lift a quarter of the weight of a 1200kg car 20 cm in 20s. To calculate the power of the car jack, the formula P = mgh/t is used.
