  2. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    where is the applied tension on the line, is the resulting force exerted at the other side of the capstan, is the coefficient of friction between the rope and capstan materials, and is the total angle swept by all turns of the rope, measured in radians (i.e., with one full turn the angle =).

  3. Belt friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_friction

    Belt friction is a term describing the friction forces between a belt and a surface, such as a belt wrapped around a bollard.When a force applies a tension to one end of a belt or rope wrapped around a curved surface, the frictional force between the two surfaces increases with the amount of wrap about the curved surface, and only part of that force (or resultant belt tension) is transmitted ...

  4. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    Tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other object, so as to stretch or pull apart the object. In terms of force, it is the opposite of compression. Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of an object.

  5. Pulley - Wikipedia

    [12] Diagram 3 shows that now three rope parts support the load W which means the tension in the rope is W/3. Thus, the mechanical advantage is three. By adding a pulley to the fixed block of a gun tackle the direction of the pulling force is reversed though the mechanical advantage remains the same, Diagram 3a. This is an example of the Luff ...
