Question

You have two windlasses (winches) named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight. Which answer is correct?

Answer 1

You have two windlasses  named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?

Generally, the equation for the Torque is  mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is  mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y
