Select a suitable wire rope to lift a load of 10 kN of debris from a well 60 m deep. The rope should have a factor of safety equal to 6. The weight of the bucket is 5 kN. The load is lifted up with a maximum speed of 150 metres/min which is attained in 1 second. Find also the stress induced in the rope due to starting with an initial slack of 250 mm. The average tensile strength of the rope may be taken as 590 d² newtons (where d is the rope diameter in mm) for 6 x 19 wire rope. The weight of the rope is 18.5 N/m. Take diameter of the wire (d)= 0.063 d, and area of the rope (4) = 0.38 d².

9. Select a suitable wire rope to lift a load of 10 kN of debris from a well 60 m deep. The rope should
have a factor of safety equal to 6. The weight of the bucket is 5 kN. The load is lifted up with a
maximum speed of 150 metres/min which is attained in 1 second.
Find also the stress induced in the rope due to starting with an initial slack of 250 mm. The average
tensile strength of the rope may be taken as 590 d? newtons (where d is the rope diameter in mm) for
6 x 19 wire rope. The weight of the rope is 18.5 N/m.
Take diameter of the wire (d) = 0.063 d, and area of the rope (A) = 0.38 d?.
JAns. 20 mm, 412 MPa|
