Definition
|
|
Term
| The rule of thumb for quickly determining mechanical advantage in a rope and pulley system is to count the number of parts of the that are applying force on the running block. |

| What is the maximum recommended fleet angle of a cable running between sheaves? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A good rule of thumb for limitting the fleet angle of a cable between two sheaves is that you are allowed 1 unit of offset for every units of distance between the sheaves. |
