If the mine winch drum diameter ks 6M,
Calculate how far the counterweight will
Lift for each single rotation of the drum
Don't understand plz try to explain 🙁
One turn of the wheel uses up enough rope to wrap around the circumference of the drum.
C = πd
Thanks a lot. It was helpful
To calculate how far the counterweight will lift for each single rotation of the drum, we need to know the relationship between the drum diameter and the amount of rope wound around the drum per rotation.
The formula to calculate the length of rope wound around the drum per rotation is:
Length of rope wound per rotation = π x drum diameter
Given that the drum diameter (D) is 6 meters, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Length of rope wound per rotation = π x 6
Now, we need to calculate the actual distance that the counterweight will lift. This will depend on the efficiency of the system, as some rope length is required to wrap around the drum and support the counterweight itself. Let's assume an efficiency of 95% for this calculation (meaning 5% of the rope length is used in wrapping around the drum and supporting the counterweight).
Actual distance lifted by the counterweight per rotation = Length of rope wound per rotation x Efficiency
Actual distance lifted by the counterweight per rotation = (π x 6) x 0.95
Calculating this expression will give you the answer, which is the actual distance that the counterweight will lift for each single rotation of the drum under the given conditions.
