Input:
Notes:
-
For all of the length/distance measurements (i.e. all of the fields above
except for the person's weight), you may use any units that you like, as long
as you use the same units for all of them.
-
For the person's weight, you may use lbs, kg, N, kN, or whatever unit of force
you prefer. All of the forces in the output table will be in the same units.
Alternatively, you can leave this field blank (or enter 1) to get results as a
multiple of body-weight.
-
You may omit the value of x0, in which case
a value of D/2 will be assumed. In other words, it
will be assumed that the value of Δ you gave
corresponds to when the person is standing exactly in the middle of the line.
-
If you don't want to consider the effects of a leash fall, you may leave the
last two fields blank, and they will be ignored.
-
Note that D refers to the horizontal distance between
the anchors, not the length of webbing used. Similarly,
x0 refers to the horizontal distance from
the anchor to the person. See the diagram below for clarification on any of
these variables.
