  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    An assembly of blocks with a rope threaded through the pulleys is called tackle. The process of threading ropes or cables through blocks is called "reeving", and a threaded block and tackle is said to have been "rove". [7] A block and tackle system amplifies the tension force in the rope to lift heavy loads.

  6. Rolling hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hitch

    The rolling hitch is a knot (see also Magnus hitch) used to attach a rope to a rod, pole, or another rope. A simple friction hitch, it is used for lengthwise pull along an object rather than at right angles. The rolling hitch is designed to resist lengthwise movement for only a single direction of pull.
