Dropped controller on PS4!!!
Ok so TIFU and was grabbing my mic which I didn't realize was wrapped around my PS3 controller, which I don't even use anymore lol, and it pulled it off the ledge and the controller landed in the very center of the PS4 from about 4-5 feet up. With the mass of a Dualshock 3 being 192 grams or .192 kilograms, and the acceleration of gravity being 9.8 meters/second^2, that means that the controller struck the PS4 with 1.88 Newtons of force. Is this enough to damage it? Should I be worried?

4 commentairesFill a bathtub with water and drop the PS4 inside to see if it still works.

Thrown mine at the wall a few times. If the shoulder buttons still work you should be good!

10 commentairesConsidering 1.88 newtons is about 1.2 lbs per foot of say you would be fine. It would take at least 3.0 newton to do any serious damage.

You will be fine

1 commentaireYou didn't account for air resistance on the way down. Your controller hit the PS4 with <1.88 newtons. Unless your game room is a vacuum.

1 commentaireI never expected to see Newton's Second Law outside of physics class. Good work!
-
1 commentaireLol and everyone in my science class is like "when will we ever need to use Newton's second law in real life?"

3 commentairesCould have damaged it, but it's unlikely. Even if something is broken you can always fix it yourself.

1 commentaireTurn it on. If it works, then no you don't need to worry. Pretty easy test.
