To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle
STOPWATCH second hand: 40 seconds Tachymeter scale: 90
1 Use the stopwatch to determine how many seconds it takes to go 1 km or 1 mile.
90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile) = 90 km/h or mph
Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds. Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0.5 km or miles and STOPWATCH second hand indicates 90 on tachymeter scale:
2 Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average speed per hour.
90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph 90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph
To measure the hourly rate of operation
STOPWATCH second hand: 20 seconds Tachymeter scale: 180
1 Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete 1 job.
180 (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job = 180 jobs/hour
Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds: 180 (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour
2 Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average number of jobs accomplished per hour.
