Calculating the loading of lever beam:
(78.4*4)+(78.4*5.3)+(78.4*6.6)+(147.15*6.5)+(107.9*12.5) = 3551.785
Lets, just assume the effort is perpendicular to the load, with the platform @ 48.2 degrees:
(3551.785 * cos(48.2)) / 11 = 215kN effort required as opposed to 322.9kN @ 0 degrees.

Thanks for the reply.
The movable weight (I think that's right - pull of gravity on an object) is simply resting on the platform and stopped from moving by a beam near to the fulcrum. This beam is perpendicular to the platform at all times.
With regards to the load forces, as the platform...
Hi,
I essentially have a class 2 lever, which holds an unevenly spread load. The lever itself (platform) is however an even weight throughout its length (except for the odd RSJ I've welded in for strength). This is an OLD machine, and hence we're going to build a bigger, stronger and higher...
Hi,
I'm machining threads on to the ends of chrome rod for use in hydraulic rams.
I have a ram which will see a maximum retracting load of 10 ton (98.1kN). For this I'm considering a thread of M30x2mm pitch. The chrome rod we use has a tensile strength of 550 n/mm2 with a yielding of 420 n/mm2...
Hi,
We have a machine in our workshop in which we are modifying to relieve the amount of lifting force required by the hydraulic ram. This will subsequently reduce hydraulic system pressure which is the main goal. I'm trying to calculate the current configuration. It consists of a class 3...
