Pulley Hoist

Fixed-axle pulley hoist with a hanging load. The pulley loop geometry is illustrative — the load is applied directly to the beam — and the page shows the engine-computed cable tension.

Cable tension

Cable tension (via pulley P): 70.711 N

The pulley loop shown on the canvas is illustrative geometry — in the modeled structure the hanging load is applied directly to the beam. The tension above is the StatIQ engine's computed value for the modeled cable constraint.

All reaction values are computed by the StatIQ structural engine, not generated text. Signs follow the solver's convention: a positive Ry acts upward, a negative Ry downward; a positive M is counter-clockwise.
