Try again...

I'll give you a clue: It's a trick question.

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?

top pulley is fixed to anchor
all other pulleys are moving
so what is the MA ?

OK I'll give him (Majid) help for 2)

Simple Pulley Systems

Basically one continuous rope flowing between the pulleys.

Tension in the rope remains the same throughout in the simple pulley system.

Compound

1 simple pulley system pulling another simple pulley system. The advantage being greater MA for the same number of pulleys in simple system thus reducing overall loss due to friction.

Complex

Are basically neither simple nor compound. Thats why they're complex Wink

Good answer...

I'd add that a "Complex" system will often involve multiple sections of rope rather than one continuous section. #3 is probably the most useful of the questions. Maybe your friend Majid can answer that one?

No surprise. The biggest troll on rcdotcom will not bite the bait on anyone else's line!

I certainly won't let Majid off the line by answering any of the questions for him, but while I'm posting, here's my answer to one of his. This is fun!

In this system, we do seem to have a problem:



The problem is that this is a single continuous line, so all the parts of it should have the same tension. But the part I've marked ?X is being expected to hold twice the force that the tension in it can hold. I don't know what would happen, but I imagine that the first pulley would not be held down by that line, and would just fly up to the top pulley. Am I right?

GO

Yah, you've got it. Pull up, and the pulley on the left moves up, the rope runs through the pulleys, and the load remains stationary.

Contrary to popular belief, this system does actually have a use in technical rescue in one specific situation - when Majid is on the end of the line.

That is a simple 3:1 pulling on a simple 3:1

Thus it is a compound 9:1

You guys still at this? Instead of grilling people with questions why not explain different systems and their advantages and disadvantages.

Trying to be the smartest guy here does not help others nor makes for a good learning experience.

It will just turn people off and they'll go else where?

So number 3 isn't being answered by Majid? Why?

"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?"

The (Majid) illustrated complex 5:1 should be more efficient than the simple due to less friction (1 less pulley). Friction and drag are your enemies in raising systems.

One common mistake rescuers tend to make is not making the main pull anchor high. They tend to tie around a tree down low at the base. Get it high as you practically can and then back tie to another anchor from that. (backup). You'll minimize friction.

I wouldn't set it up Majid illustration like that with the ropes crossing over each other.

Majid and trench don't bail out of this thread ..... explain your points and make it a good worthy thread.

Ok, I just set this up just using carabiners because I don't have pulleys. When I pulled up on the rope there was too much friction on the top pulley giving only the use of the lower 2 for a MA of 4:1. If i pulled horizontally away from the system making less friction the rope would pass through all of the pulley, so this could actually work.. When I picture this I see it as the top pulley lowers the MA because it increases the rate that the load will rise. So if I'm seeing this right my third and final guesstamation is 3:1.

So another answer from the noob MA is 3:1??

I got two images for you so you could understand the system

image A (left) is a chage of direction. you are not having any MA cause you are only using the pulley to redirect the load so load weights the same at the end of the line.

Image B is MA cause you are now dividing the load in to two and each side is sharing the total weight so your load of 100 Lbs is actually feels like 50 Lbs per side or 2:1 MA .

Now you need to go back and look at my image and figure out where the change of direction is applied and where you have the MA (if any) and then combine them.

Yeah maybe on paper he's pulling 67.87 pounds.

In the real world there's always way more friction that will slow you down and make you put "One more man on the pull team."

When those lines start going over the edge you'll see what I'm talking about.

When those lines start going over the edge you'll see what I'm talking about.

The calculation is valid for a free hanging hoist with pulley-efficiency = 0.9 =90 %.
Known tecnical datas for pulley-efficiency :

Petzl-equipment : 0.9 - O.714
T.Moyer : 0.92 - 0.95

For inffluence of edges see :"The Mechanics of Friction in Rope Rescue"

http://www.amrg.org/...Reports_Papers2.html

Trenchdigger has elaborated exactly the theoretical MA with pulley-efficiency = 1 = 100%, also valid for a free hanging hoist :

(H) = 5 * (A)
Load (H) = 300 lbs => (A) = 300 / 5 = 60 lb
