Force on Guy Lines Using Falling Derrick - Spreadsheet to calculate degree by degree?
Hello, I want to raise a 90 foot long pole that is 5" in diameter using a falling derrick. I am interested in the force applied to the guys as it is raised up from the horizontal position to a vertical position say degree by degree. I would like to accomplish this in a spreadsheet. The material is 6063-T6. The 5" tube with a .052 wall weighs .951# per foot. And 4" with .050 wall weighs .73# per foot. Below is a simple drawing. Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
