    One of the clearest explanations of MA on UA-cam. Outstanding video.

    This is by far the best explanation I've heard so far. Thank you so much

      Sure. Just give me some time as I am currently quite busy.

    I don't understand why it's necessary to put 2 t's on the same side of the rope on the input and output sides

    • @perryfire3006
      @perryfire3006  5 місяців тому

      Around the pulley? If so, it's because the tensions have to equalize each other.

      @@perryfire3006 What's the difference in the it two T's? You start with a T from where the load is being pulled. Then further up you put a second T that's on the same side......why?

      @@frnkjones40 Think of the input as only 1T that has to continue until it terminates. That never goes away but along the way this 1T compounds itself through the pulleys which you have to add together to get the final result. Each time the rope goes around a pulley, the input of that 1T has to be countered with another 1T on the opposite side which creates an equilibrium of forces on that pulley. Thus you get a final force of 2T that the pulley creates. The rope grab is another force multiplier which can increase this input force but remember that the input force has to equal the output force.
      Hopefully too you can visualize how much force is being applied to your anchor in these configurations. Sometimes we focus so much on the final output that we don't consider what our system is doing to whatever is holding our MA system.

      I was hoping the included photos would help but you have to have at least a basic understanding of what constitutes a MA in pulleys and rope. Do a little research and then come back to my video and see what happens.
