Differential pulley were. Next, the downward force acting on the lower pulley equal the upward forces acting on it, so Additionally, there is no net torque or moment around the compound pulley, so the clockwise torque is equal to the anticlockwise torque: Substituting "F" and "F" from the above equations, Rearranging gives As "F" = , Finally, the mechanical advantage, = or . Differential pulley A differential pulley, also called "Weston differential pulley", sometimes "chain hoist" or colloquially "chain fall", is used to manually lift very heavy objects like car engines. It is operated by pulling upon the slack section of a
Cargo hook (helicopter) metal at the bottom of a cargo hook that supports the load. Usually it has a curved, narrow end which is used to load a ring, rope, or net onto the hook. The keeper is the locking, spring-operated mechanism that keeps the load from sliding off the load beam during transport. The attach point attaches the hook to the belly of the helicopter, swing system, or longline. The following table includes a list of helicopter models that are designed to carry underslung loads. Cargo capacities provided reflect the airframe manufacturer's specifications; when put into practice the actual maximum load capacities
