    Calculating Force for Lifting Weight at Different Angles

    actually i am going to connect a string at point G. So the direction of force will be pretty much the direciton of arrow shown, however it can vary slightly as its a string which will be applying the force and not a solid rod. The angle of 45 deg is fixed. will it be easy to lift the weight...

    Calculating Force for Lifting Weight at Different Angles

    can you please help me with this as i am confused? I am designing a frame for my project. I have a rod GF connected to rod AB at point F at 45 Degrees. The dimensions are mentioned in the attached word file. There is a weight of 1 Kg at side resting on rod AB nead end - A. what is the...

    Calculating force required to keep pendulum in motion

    sorry about that...my mistake, I am actually pushing rather pulling the pendulum with 3.5 kgf force. i have a spring gauge which i am using for measurement. I lift the pendulum weighing 10 kg's to about 20 degrees. the spring gauge reads 3.5 kg. then i release the pendulum. The time for...

    Calculating force required to keep pendulum in motion

    Hi, I am interested in calculating the force required to keep a pendulum in motion. I believe This force will be same as the frictional loss + other dampening loss happening in the oscillations. now, I know the initial push or force that i am giving to the pendulum. let initial force...

    Can Switching from Gear to Roller Drive Reduce Noise in Toy Mechanisms?

    I am using a gear mechanism in one of the toys that i am making for my baby. but the gear makes a lot of noise. Will replacing it with Roller drive or friction drive reduce the noise? Is there any other way to reduce noise from gear drive?

    How Can I Design an Anti-Tilt Frame to Withstand a Force of 5 kg?

    Thank you very much for the precise answer. If i keep the frame as right angle triangle, with a=H=height, and angles as 90, 45 and 45 degrees, then b becomes the hypoteneus=28, with M=1 kg, F=3 Kg, the equation goes negative. i guess i am wrong somewhere...

    How Can I Design an Anti-Tilt Frame to Withstand a Force of 5 kg?

    I am trying to find the force necessary to tilt a vertical frame. I have a triangular frame, which is standing on one of its sides vertically. I am applying a force or around 5 kg's in the horizantal direction on its upper corner. how do i design the frame so that it will not tilt under this...

    Designing a battery operated solenoid

    I want to develop a solenoid for push application. the required push is around 5kg by electromagnet. We can use a combination of permenant magnet and electromagnet to optimize the design with respect to area and power consumption. For eg. the solenoid can push a permenant magnet also...
