Pulley Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the pulley force (Fp) is:

\[ Fp = TF - GF \]

Where:

\(Fp\) is the Pulley Force (N)
\(TF\) is the Tension Force (N)
\(GF\) is the Gravitational Force (N)

What is Pulley Force?

A pulley force is a measure of the net force acting on an object that is being raised by a pulley. The pulley force is dependent on the tension force and the gravitational force.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Tension Force (\(TF\)) = 100 N
Gravitational Force (\(GF\)) = 50 N

Using the formula:

\[ Fp = 100 - 50 = 50 \]

The Pulley Force is 50 N.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Tension Force (\(TF\)) = 200 N
Gravitational Force (\(GF\)) = 150 N

Using the formula:

\[ Fp = 200 - 150 = 50 \]

The Pulley Force is 50 N.
