Calculating anchor loads |

Ok some of you engineering, rigging, mathematics-type people will probably be able to answer this in a second.
Is there a formula/method to calculate the load on the ends of an anchored length of static rope, fixed between two points with a specific load applied to the centre of the rope in a downward direction. Picture a slackline, a tyrolean traverse, or even a fat guy in a hammock for example. I know we need to take into account the angle created by the distance between the anchors etc.
I have a book that states that a load of 100kg will put 100kg on each anchor if the angle created between the anchor points and the load is 120 degrees. This is halved to 50kg on each anchor if the angle is 20 degrees. Is there a simple way to calculate this for other angles?
Anyone got their head around this stuff? |
