Sorry, that should read "As the linear plane is two dimensional, then the lifting point in D/E represents a fixed point running horizontally across the entire surface."

Hi, thanks for your comment. As the linear plane is two dimensional, then the lifting point in D/E represents a fixed point running parallel across the entire surface. The movement of the counterweight lifts the curtain cleanly away from the zone to be vacated. On a basic level, when the human...

Hi, thanks for your reply. The vertical plane is a lightweight material and the function is to hold the material away from a given area. Pushing the material away defines one dynamic while lifting the material away defines another, at least, we think so.

Hi Thank you for your welcome.

Hi, I am working on a project where the normal process has been to push a single linear plain away from a given area. I am now considering lifting the single linear plain away but wondered about the physical dynamics when comparing pushing to lifting something. In the image:- A. Represents...
