Just curious, I can see in the example situations, line stretch, distance, climbers weight and sag specified.. It seems over-specified. Wouldn't the distance, sag and weight be sufficient for a static case ?
I assume that the line stretch must be a 'pre-tension' figure, but not sure how this would be applied in a calculation to improve the accuracy.
I get around 5.9kN for the 15M/0.5M/80Kg scenario. I am assuming half of the tape provides half of the vertical opposing force, with both adding together to 80*9.81 (if that makes any sense). |
