Both equations were at first puzzling to this hapless math illiterate. Then
there was the matter of dealing with those arcane symbols on my pocket
calculator.
At first I tried multiplying inches by the factor, but that didn't work. Then
I discovered things worked much better if I moved the closing brackets to the
end of each formula - ie. - worked out the power on the inches first, then
multiplying that total by the factor - - VOILA!
Thus:
For a circumference of 39": 39 to the 2.61374 power = 14,408.846.
Then 14,408.846 times .001517 = 21.85822 lbs
For an OTT of 96":
96 to the 2.76 power = 295847.97.Then 295847.97 times .0000795 = 23.5199 lbs
Hope this helps. Bill Verchere, Ladysmith, BC Canada

Your ott measurement of 133.5 in.
133.5 to the 2.76 power=735069.3142. Then 735069.3142
times.0000795=54.43801048 lbs
My daughter is away for the weekend , so i had to do this all by myself.
Good luck
