AI Thread Summary
When towing a load at an angle around a pulley, the forces acting on the pulley will differ from those in a straight pull. The load on the pulley will not simply be the same as in the straight-line scenario due to the angle of pull. The load cell reading may change depending on the angle and the mechanical advantage provided by the pulley system. Proper placement of the load cell is crucial for accurate measurements. Understanding these dynamics is essential for effective load management in towing scenarios.

Hello friends,

I have a situation where I am looking to pull a load and would like to better understand the forces involved.

In the first scenario I am pulling a load in a straight line, the load cell reads 10kN.

In the second scenario I would like to pull the same load at an angle of 150o around a pulley.
My first question is, would the load acting on the pulley simply be as suggested in the below diagram?
My second question is, would my load cell continue to read 10kN?

Many thanks for your help in this delicate matter,

Tina :)

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
