Change Monokuma's Lifting Strength to Class 5

I did some calculations from the scene where four Monokumas lift a van into space. First, due to the fact that when we see the van floating later in the show with no Monokumas holding on to it, we can assume that the van must have reached escape velocity at some point. The escape velocity on Earth is approximately 11.2km/s, or ~11000m/s.

Data from auto sales and NASA give us the mass of the van at 1850 kilograms, and the time it took for the van to reach its maximum velocity at approximately 510 seconds.

Plugging in the numbers gives a net force of approximately 40000N, an applied force of 58000N, and a total lifting capacity of 5900kg. This gets divided among four Monokumas, but that still gives each individual Monokuma a lifting capacity of about 1500kg.
 
I do not think that we calculate lifting strength based on acceleration. Fiction tends to be very inconsistent about these things.
