How to Calculate and Solve for Total Mass Determination | Gravity

Last Updated on April 15, 2024

The image above represents total mass determination. To calculate total mass determination, two essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Maximum Gravity (Δg_max) and Half Width (x_1/2).

The formula for calculating total mass determination:

M ≃ 255Δg_max(x_1/2)²

Where:

M = Total Mass
Δg_max = Maximum Gravity
x_1/2 = Half Width

Let’s solve an example;
Find the total mass determination when the maximum gravity is 10 and the half width is 6.

This implies that;

Δg_max = Maximum Gravity = 10
x_1/2 = Half Width = 6

M ≃ 255Δg_max(x_1/2)²
That is, M ≃ 255(10)(6)²
M ≃ 255(10)(36)
M ≃ 91800

Therefore, the total mass determination is 91800 kg.
