mmon windlass in having anaxle formed of two cylinders, A and B, of different dia-meters, but having a com-mon axis. A rope is attachedto the larger cylinder, andwrapped several times aroundit, after which it passes aroundthe movable pulley C, and,returning, is wrapped in acontrary direction about… … ELEMENTARY MACHINES. 121 wind the rope upon the larger cylinder it unwinds fromthe smaller one, but in a less degree, and the total effect ofthe power is to raise the resistance JR. To deduce theconditions of equilibrium between the power and resistance,denote the power by P, the resistance by P,…
