Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the mechanisms of various hoisting machinery, providing engineers, students, and industry professionals with formulas to precisely calculate the actual force required to lift a load at varying heights. It covers the fundamentals of levers, pulleys, and other hoisting equipment, along with their applications in a variety of real-world scenarios. The author analyzes the forces acting upon each type of hoisting apparatus, enabling readers to identify and quantify energy losses. Delving into the efficiency of different hoisting arrangements, the book examines how factors such as friction and the number of teeth on a gear affect the overall lifting capacity. It also investigates the concept of self-locking mechanisms, explaining how these devices prevent loads from running backward without additional force. With its comprehensive exploration of the mechanics of hoisting machinery, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the design, operation, or maintenance of these essential tools.
