the area of the surface of contact. Stiffness of Cords. 106. Let 0 represent a pulley, with a cord AB,wrapped around its circumference, andsuppose a force P, applied at B, to over-come the resistance B, and impart motionto the pulley. As the rope winds upon thepulley, at (7, its rigidity acts to… … Fig. 96. in which a and b are constants dependent upon the natureand construction of the rope, and B is the resistance tobe overcome, or the tension of the cord A C. The values ofa and b for different ropes have been ascertained by experi-ment, and tabulated. Finally, if the same rope be woundupon…
