An ideal block and tackle with a moving block supported by n rope sections has the mechanical advantage (MA), = =, where F A is the hauling (or input) force and F B is the load. Consider the set of pulleys that form the moving block and the parts of the rope that support this block.
Crown block (#13) is the stationary end of the block and tackle. Degasser (not pictured) is a device that separates air and/or gas from the drilling fluid. It is typically mounted on top of the mud tanks. Derrick (#14) is the support structure for the equipment used to lower and raise the drill string into and out of the wellbore. This consists ...
The ideal mechanical advantage of the block and tackle is equal to the number of sections of the rope that support the moving block. In the diagram on the right, the ideal mechanical advantage of each of the block and tackle assemblies [7] shown is as follows: Gun tackle: 2; Luff tackle: 3; Double tackle: 4; Gyn tackle: 5; Threefold purchase: 6
A gin pole in use loading logs A gin pole used to install a weather vane atop the 200-foot steeple of a church Roof trusses being assembled with gin poles. A gin pole is a mast supported by one or more guy-wires that uses a pulley or block and tackle mounted on its upper end to lift loads.
By looping more ropes around more pulleys we can construct a block and tackle to continue to increase the mechanical advantage. For example, if we have two pulleys attached to the rafter, two pulleys attached to the weight, one end attached to the rafter, and someone standing on the rafter pulling the rope, we have a mechanical advantage of four.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The writing was on the wall when the NFL began publicizing its data. The hip-drop tackle, league executives began saying last year, inflicted injury at 25 times the rate of the ...
A traveling block is the freely moving section of a block and tackle that contains a set of pulleys or sheaves through which the drill line (wire rope) is threaded or reeved and is opposite (and under) the crown block (the stationary section).
This cheat sheet is the aftermath of hours upon hours of research on all of the teams in this year’s tournament field. I’ve listed each teams’ win and loss record, their against the
