Thanks for that...I suppose my question was not specific enough.
What I was really trying to ask was: if the force measured at the measuring device was 20KN and given no additional loses occurred through the pully system then what was the approximate force exerted on the cable?
People are...
I have a (hopefully) quick question.
If I have a set-up like the one below, with a cable attached to a rope, and a cable puller pulling the rope through a pulley thereby pulling the cable - and I have a measuring device on the pulley saying that 20KN is being exerted on the pulley - is the...
