Draw me a 5:1 closed system

I hope you know how to do it without google.

Major Sorbet

If we assume the pulleys are 100% efficient (or if we included a bunch of complicated friction and thermodynamic calculations), then this is a closed system.

Do you know the definition of a "closed system" without Googling it?

Did you possibly mean a simple 5:1 system?

5:1 close system is generally simpler than what I have up there so yes you can call it simple 5:1

No google search is allowed

Also do the math on those angle and tell me if OP is actually a 5:1 .

it should be near 4:1 + -

move it move it move it

You know

All this number crunching is for nerds and geeks. In real world applications out in the field if you can't pull the load add more mechanical advantage. That's what we do. Improvision is the key.

Not that professor know it all stands there and starts crunching numbers and theories. Waste of time, as the patient and rescuer has to to be raised and time is of critical importance.

Just like in war, some guy is shooting at ya. Some West Point nerd will say this bullet is traveling at such and such velocity and has this particular bore carries such and such ammo and blah blah blah.

Meanwhile .........

You still don't know what a closed system is. I'll even change the rules - you can google it.

Do you even know the definition of a simple pulley system?

Obviously, not enough information is given to calculate anything.

It is, however, good to know the most efficient systems to achieve MA. That's where the number crunching comes in handy. Try to add MA with the wrong type of system and you're just making things more complicated with little or no actual increase in MA.

Here's a simple 5:1 system.


As I said before, your second question cannot be answered. Not enough information is provided.

Now your chance to show us how much you know (I'll even let you google the answers):

1) Define "closed system" as it pertains to hauling systems.

2) Define simple, complex, and compound as they pertain to hauling systems.

3) Which of the 5:1 systems in this thread is more efficient? The simple system shown here, or your illustrated complex 5:1 system?

BONUS) Show me a COMPLEX 7:1 MA hauling system.

This is what I know as a 5:1 closed system.

Valid point, and generally that's what happens in a situation when one has enough background knowledge to know that what they're doing isn't necessarily the best way to get things done and it's time to improvise something a little bit different.

However, I think that I need to practice setting such haul systems on the ground before it comes to do-or-die time.

I guess it's time to start playing with something a little more complex than a 1:1 or a 3:1 if I really want to get my shit dialed to the point where the decisions about setting up a haul come intuitively.Smile

Avoiding my questions? It's not the complex 7:1 I requested. I'll give you two more chances, then you fail.

Trick question? What 2:1 or is it that since the diagram doesn't accurately show the top pulley in a fixed position, does the whole thing fall apart?

I think you are in a wrong post. trench is playing poker with me showing his cards but he has no cash to win this
