the way i see it is this is a simple potential to to kinetic balance.
mgh = 1/2 mv^2
the m's cancel assuming the weight isn't changing.
so here's the hard part.
calculating the resistant forces.
air resistance and friction in the wire/pulley
so can anyone get me started on...
Ok so this should be a simple caclulation like those easy tension problems in physics books but i want a more accurate model.
I I am trying to figure out the maximum tension that would occur in a zip line if i knew: (the horizontal distance between trees) - (the load of the person/equipment)...
