| Apr 3, 2017 at 14:55 | comment | added | JMac | @RaajaG It's very unclear what you mean. The ropes should all have tension in them between the car and whatever is connecting the ropes to each other. For rigid bodies and ideal ropes each rope should have a single value of tension acting in the direction the rope is being pulled. You seem to be drawing odd things and not explaining them clearly. | |

| Apr 3, 2017 at 14:30 | comment | added | Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz | @CarlWitthoft What I mean by hyperbolic forces, is the functional gradient at which it acts along. In a rigid body case, as I assumed wrt OP's question, I think my solution is correct (though not exact). | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 14:26 | comment | added | JMac | @Mcccccc That would require infinite force. | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 14:22 | comment | added | Mcccccc | @JMac Ahh, you are correct as when using impulse, as i said earlier i stated "ideal situations" therefore in this scene the time for vehicle to come from 200mph - 0mph will be zero seconds. i think ill rethink the equation and put more known variables into it. | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 14:11 | comment | added | JMac | @Mcccccc That's a pretty vague and potentially complicated question. Essentially there will be an impulse acting on the ring from 4 directions. Impulses are a bit more complicated than regular analysis with constant forces. In this case the force applied will depend highly on the time it takes to apply it, which will depend on situation specifics | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 13:57 | comment | added | Mcccccc | @JMac The wording of my last comment was a little bit unclear, from a the designing engineers point of view being asked to create a structure to withstand the force all vehicles will exert when cable becomes taught and vehicles will essentially stop at an instant, | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 13:44 | comment | added | JMac | @Mcccccc The net force would only say "the ring will not move if it is a rigid body". It would require further structural analysis to figure out if the ring is actually a rigid body, or if it was able to deform enough to cause other effects (such as breaking). | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 13:43 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | There's no such thing as a "hyperbolic force" Force is a vector and can only point in one direction at a given time. | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 13:38 | comment | added | Mcccccc | i understand working it out mathematically, the overall net would be zero but just thinking logically it does not really make sense. The way i am looking at is is if a designer was to create a central point in form of a rigid ring or something along these lines they'd need to know the expected force acting at all directions? | |

| Apr 3, 2017 at 13:06 | comment | added | Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz | @J.Ari It's a tricky argument :), the force will be 0N only at origin that is at (0,0), if and only if, all the cars are at rest i.e, when they aren't pulling, if not the net force will behave hyperbolically, whenever the cars are not at rest. I have already mentioned the (0,0) with a red-dot :) | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 12:05 | comment | added | J. Ari | Won't there be a net force of 0N at the center point at all times because each car's force is being cancelled out by the car going in the opposite direction generating equal force? | |
