 | | Crane mathematics
|
| Does anyone who makes cranes have some easy math such as geometry for crane design? The problem I see is that for a crane to be always balanced the weight in the back needs to move according to the load weight. The boom on mine bends, but when (...) (19 years ago, 1-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)
