Is There a Block in Motion? Mechanical Advantage and Vector Forces

1000348 - N119

1.5ETCP renewal credits (recognized trainer logo) Friday, 10/21 Join us for an examination of blocks, ropes, cables, and vector forces. Learn the two primary methods of calculating mechanical advantage, how to design a mechanical advantage system to fit your needs, and how to calculate the vecotrs forces on a block for any application. Learn to: analyze the mechanical advantage of a given blcok arrangement; design a basic block system to manage a given load management situraiton; and calculate the actual force applied to a block when given the tension on the line and the included angle of the turn. Speaker: Tracy Nunnally, president of Vertigo; professor, Northern Illinois University
