How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the operating speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) in the "Speed" field.
- Enter the width of operation in meters in the "Width of Operation" field.
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area covered per hour in hectares.
- The result will be displayed in the "Hectares per Hour" field.
- Click "Reset" to clear all inputs and start over.
Principle of Calculation
The calculator uses the formula:
Hectares per Hour = (Speed × Width × 0.0001)
Where:
- Speed is the operating speed in km/h
- Width is the width of operation in meters
- 0.0001 is the conversion factor from square meters to hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters)
Example
If a machinery operates at a speed of 10 km/h with a width of operation of 5 meters, the calculation would be:
10 km/h × 5 m × 0.0001 = 0.0005 hectares per hour
Applications
This calculator is useful in various fields including:
- Agriculture: Calculating the area of land covered by farming equipment per hour
- Construction: Determining the progress of land clearing or grading operations
- Landscaping: Estimating the area of lawns or gardens that can be maintained per hour
