Okay. I will try to clarify. In this example, I should have stated that the system will be static to calculate forces on each section. The end "W" will be dead headed, along with "Y" and "Z". There will be a pull force of 250 lbs. on "W". What torque on the winding arm will give a force of...
I have attached a simple drawing of a winch that I would like to design. To get the size of the spool, hydraulic motor and winding arm correct, I need to figure out the formulas to calculate the torque needed to rotate the winding arm and the forces on the rope at each section. (ie. W,X,Y and Z...
