I am looking for a caculator that will calulate weight limits put on 3/16 wire rope. (zip line)The wire rope has a breaking strength of 4200 lbs and a max load of 800lbs.
What I want to be able to do is calulate different weights at different lengths as needed
like can a 250lb person be safe on a 400 foot line.
How do I know how much to tension the line (ft lbs) to carry a given weight within the given spec.s?
What would be nice is an online java calulator or software ...if you can help let me know
better to use excel. then you can predicts various scenarios.
i've never set up a zip line, but i'm guessing it would be better to go with a high tension when setting up the zip line vs. a lower tension, as lower tension would increase the angle of the cable.
AS a general guidline, especially when designing for safety, once you find the required cable strength, add a 15% factor to it. Even if it means buying stronger cable, do it. Don't sacrifice safety.
This is more complicated than you think, as you can assume all static forces, but in reality, people bounce when riding a zip line, and that will create dynamic forces, which can easily double or triple the static forces of a person just hanging there. You might want to consider a strong spring at one end of the cable to reduce the dynamic loading effect on your cable.
