  2. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    Tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other object, so as to stretch or pull apart the object. In terms of force, it is the opposite of compression. Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of an object.

  3. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    A slight adjustment can alter it to 100 Hz, exactly one octave above the alternating current frequency in Europe and most countries in Africa and Asia, 50 Hz. In most countries of the Americas—where the AC frequency is 60 Hz—altering A# on the fifth string, first fret from 116.54 Hz to 120 Hz produces a similar effect.

  4. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    The rope is on the verge of full sliding, i.e. is the maximum load that one can hold. Smaller loads can be held as well, resulting in a smaller effective contact angle φ {\displaystyle \varphi } . It is important that the line is not rigid, in which case significant force would be lost in the bending of the line tightly around the cylinder.

  5. Fall factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_factor

    However, rope manufacturers give only the rope’s impact force F 0 and its static and dynamic elongations that are measured under standard UIAA fall conditions: A fall height h 0 of 2 × 2.3 m with an available rope length L 0 = 2.6m leads to a fall factor f 0 = h 0 /L 0 = 1.77 and a fall velocity v 0 = (2gh 0) 1/2 = 9.5 m/s at the end of ...

  6. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    The velocity ratio of a tackle is the ratio between the velocity of the hauling line to that of the hauled load. A line with a mechanical advantage of 4 has a velocity ratio of 4:1. In other words, to raise a load at 1 metre per second, the hauling part of the rope must be pulled at 4 metres per second.

  7. Cosmic string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_string

    The angular deficit δ is linearly related to the string tension (= mass per unit length), i.e. the larger the tension, the steeper the cone. Therefore, δ reaches 2π for a certain critical value of the tension, and the cone degenerates to a cylinder. (In visualizing this setup one has to think of a string with a finite thickness.)

  8. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Linear motion, also called rectilinear motion, [1] is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension. The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion , with constant velocity (zero acceleration ); and non-uniform linear motion , with variable velocity ...

  9. Tyrolean traverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrolean_traverse

    In climbing, a Tyrolean traverse is a technique that enables climbers to cross a void between two fixed points, such as between a headland and a detached rock pillar (e.g. a sea stack), or between two points that enable the climbers to cross over an obstacle such as chasm or ravine, or over a fast moving river.
