Winch Line Pull Force Calculator:
Enter the values of torque, T(N.m) and distance, X(m) to determine the value of Winch Line Pull Force, WF(N).
Winch Line Pull Force Formula:
The winch line pull force represents the force exerted by a winch line when winding or unwinding, determined by the tension in the line and the mechanical advantage provided by the winch system
Winch Line Pull Force, WF(N) in Newtons, is calculated by dividing the torque, T(N.m) in Newton-metres, by the distance, X(m) in metres over which the torque is applied, representing the mechanical advantage.
Winch Line Pull Force, WF(N) = T(N.m) / X(m)
WF(N) = winch line pull force in Newtons, N.
T(N.m) = torque in Newtons metres, N.m.
X(m) = distance in metres, m.
Winch Line Pull Force Calculation:
1.Suppose a winch system applies a torque of 500 Newton-metres and has a mechanical advantage of 2 metres. Calculate the winch line pull force.
Given: T(N.m) = 500N.m, X(m) = 2m.
Winch Line Pull Force, WF(N) = T(N.m) / X(m)
WF(N) = 500 / 2
WF(N) = 250N.
2.Suppose we are given a problem where a winch exerts a pull force of 300 Newtons due to a torque of 600 Newton-metres applied to the winch drum. We want to find the mechanical advantage.
Given: T(N.m) = 600N.m, WF(N) = 300N.
Winch Line Pull Force, WF(N) = T(N.m) / X(m)
X(m) = T(N.m) / WF(N)
X(m) = 600 / 300
X(m) = 2m.
