Advanced Rigging Physics: Vectors & Mechanical Advantage (Trailer)-Richard Delaney

/ Blog / 4 Comments

This course covers the basic physics that apply to roping systems. This course should enable technicians to develop a deeper understanding and a sound approach to problem-solving. Considering force and tension as vectors and finding creative ways to apply these in the field makes it so much easier to define resultants and calculate mechanical advantage
