100kg mass bashing into it at 40m/s.
thats 4000N isnt it?
at least it is if the mechanism stops
the 100kg mass in 1 second.

whats the name of the program you used?

the reason I say 1000N longitudinal
is because you say 3000N lateral.
you cant have a reaction larger that the action.

for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction.


the cosine of 45 degrees is 0.7071

4000N * 0.7071 = 2828.4N
this should be the resultant lateral force that the
slider feels.

of course you would divide that by 4
when using 4 legs , you can use 1 to get the total.

pretty close to your 3000N !
