Exam ple - Maxim um Safe Mass for a 3/8" Wire Rope


The relationship between mass and force (weight) can be expressed as

m= F / g (1)

where

F = force, weight (N)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2)

Maximum safe mass for a 3/8" wire rope where safe load is 10.9 kN can be calculated as

m = (10.9 10 3 N) / (9.81 m/s2)

= 1111 kg
