BETA Testers Needed
We need you! Become a BETA Tester and help with the development of the ropebook platform. We’d like to put together a selected group of…
Angular Vector Forces
Angular vector forces occur when ropes are passed through a deviation or a directional pulley. Dependent on the angle created, this can have a multiplying…
The 6:1 Pulley System
As we continue to apply more pulleys to the system then the mechanical advantage ratio increases. In this system some of the pulleys that have…
The 5:1 Pulley System
With this 5:1 pulley system the user is required to apply an effort of only 20kg to lift the 100kg load. Notice that when the…
The 4:1 Pulley System
This pulley system provides a 4:1 mechanical advantage. The user is required to apply a force of 25kg to raise this 100kg load, for every…
The 3:1 Pulley System
Here we have a 3:1 mechanical advantage. First one end of the rope is attached directly to the load, this is then passed around an…
