Tension Calculator
Compute rope tension for hanging mass, angled ropes, and pulley systems with configurable gravity and unit conversion.
Formulas Used
- T = mg (single hanging mass)
- T1 = mg cos(theta2) / sin(theta1 + theta2)
- T2 = mg cos(theta1) / sin(theta1 + theta2)
- T = |m1 - m2|g (idealized pulley difference model)
Tension Analysis Details
- - Assumes static or quasi-static 2D force balance.
- - Rope and pulley are treated as massless and frictionless.
- - Angles are interpreted from the horizontal support line.
- - Gravity preset lets you compare Earth, Moon, and Mars conditions.
- - Use chart mode to see sensitivity to mass or angle changes.
