I never said you were dumb, and yes Graeme does math on stuff. Just out if curiosity, what rope are you using for pulling with that much force? It obviously is up for it because you do massive pulls, I'm just curious

True, but if you tried to do that in construction you would likely kill some people, be on the news, and then commit suicide after a few months. Hence the math. So for me with my background, 5 min of math when I'm doing the bid is worth it.

Torque=weight x distance. Calculate side and back lean, adding on one side and subtracting on the other side. You will come up with a number, and that is going to be the tipping force ignoring the hinge. Then you do the stick trick that i learned from you, and get thre height of your pull line...

Remember my day job is a pipefitter, so i do trig daily. Calculations like that are mandatory for serious rigging, and i have literally went to school for that. Overkill and likely unneeded, sure, but it's what i do.

I have gone so far as to roughly calculate the side/back lean in torque, and then the pulling force, so i have a better idea before i put a saw to it.
