- TL;DR Summary
- A hydraulic actuator force, F is 3000m from the right is lifting the platform upwards. The load 12000kg is UDL. How do I calculate for F?
In summary, the conversation discusses the acceleration of a load and its dependence on cylinder geometry. It is also mentioned that the load is calculated at 12,000 kg and questions are raised about the safety of the support. The conversation ends with the thread being closed due to the discussion being deemed dangerous.

Is it accelerating the load? ##F## will also be a function of the cylinder geometry.

No it's not accelerating the load. The cylinder geometry will be depending on the calculated force.

Moment: 12,000 kg at 3.000 m = 36,000 kg⋅m .
If one lift cylinder is located at 1.906 m from the fulcrum,
the load will be; 36,000 / 1.906 = 18,888. kg .
18,888 kg * 9.8 = 185,100 newton.
Have you included the mass of the tilting platform?

The load is 12,000 kg, and you are asking for advice on an Internet forum? Can you provide a link to your buisiness insurance company please?jr5 said:

It's not for company, it's a mockup.berkeman said:

I don't understand. Is the load really 12,000 kg, or is that mocked up too? If it's real, what happens if/when the support fails?jr5 said:

1. What is the purpose of determining force for an inclining platform?
The purpose of determining force for an inclining platform is to understand the amount of force required to move an object or person up or down the platform at a specific angle. This information is important for designing and operating safe and efficient inclining platforms.
2. How is force calculated for an inclining platform?
Force for an inclining platform is calculated using the formula: Force = mass x acceleration. The mass of the object or person on the platform and the angle of inclination are also taken into account in the calculation.
3. What factors can affect the force required for an inclining platform?
The force required for an inclining platform can be affected by the weight of the object or person on the platform, the angle of inclination, and any external forces such as friction or air resistance.
4. How can the force for an inclining platform be measured?
The force for an inclining platform can be measured using a force sensor or load cell. These devices can be attached to the platform and will measure the force applied to it by the object or person on the platform.
5. Why is it important to consider force when designing an inclining platform?
Considering force is important when designing an inclining platform because it ensures that the platform is able to safely and effectively move objects or people at the desired angle. Without proper consideration of force, the platform may not be able to support the weight or may require excessive force to operate, leading to safety concerns and inefficiency.
