    I’ll hazard a bit of a guess.
    120lbs x 11 for that load angle, = 1320lbs.
    I’m assuming she’s capable of about her bodyweight (slightly under) in shock load in that situation, but I’ve never actually measured this in real life…

    Shock loads are difficult to assess. Let’s assume that Julia is strong (she works for you as a rigger) and gets 75% of her body weight to be effective on the pull, or 105 lb. then the vector sum yields 225 lb…If she manages (thru shock loading) to get 100% of her body weight on the pull (although her feet never left the ground) , then the vector sum yields 244 lb. I’ll split the difference and say 235 lb

      Sorry, I need to modify my entry of 40# because I didn’t run the video first and saw only the static image. Please put me down for 80 #.

    Been a long time since I did vector stuff and dynamic is for me a wild card – but I will hazard 800 lbs tension on the load cell if it is fast enough reading but based on some calcs many years ago I think I am low –

    Assuming:
    A. she generates 75% of her weight in shock load
    B. Estimate that she generates a load angle of 160 degrees
    C. approx. 300% multiplier
    Answer: [200lbs initial + (75%of 140lbs or 105lbs)]*300% or 915lbs

      …dang…less the original 200 thus 715lbs.

    1000 pounds.
    I’d say more but she didn’t move the iron thing on the floor. What is that?

    750lbs

    350lb total, so the answer would be an additional 150lb
    (Realizing I am late, so out of the contest, for the fun of it)

    1052.7 pounds extra
    I know too late.
    So what is the answer?
