Anchor setting interpetation

In post #276, video #52, the Forfjord 65# anchor indicates that a "force" of >900 lbs cause the anchor to dislodge. On the following web site, Forces

This would correlate to a wind speed of 40 kts. (see one of the charts ABYC reference). Is this a correct assumption?

I am interested because this is my anchor and close to my rode setup. I use an all chain rode, 5/16'. I normally use 1:5 scope. Most of the areas we anchor at have similar bottom as the test.

Thanks!
