redirection forces
  • a - Angle of redirection
  • Fa - Force on one end of rope (e.g. load)
  • Fb - Force on opposite end of rope (e.g. raise)
  • Fr - Redirection force vector

Enter values for angle a, force (Fa and Fb) and the calculator will determine the redirection force vector (Fr).

Value should be between 0 and 180.
Do NOT add Fa to Fb, e.g. enter a value of 2 for a 2 person load.
