Rope testing question

[Steve Bullman]

Maths and physics aren’t my strong point. What would testing to 25N tensile force mean in real terms and how could I replicate this test out of a facility?

[Khriss]

Basically it 25kN so 10 Newton to the kilogram,  wrap rope around a winch drum an get a weight of that mass, lift it, if it don't snap yr fine  . K

[Khriss]

( 25 kN = 25000 or 2.5 metric tonne )

[Steve Bullman]

So I need to suspend a 25kg weight basically

25N not KN

You mean 25 Newton!   No you get 2.5 litre of water an that's 25 Newton's of mass  . K

( are you testing garden string )

[Steve Bullman]

Surely that can’t be right either?

 

My girlfriend is starting a little business selling baby teething products, she needs to get them tested and that’s the criteria 
 

yes it’s basically a piece of string

25N does seem low, I wonder if that is a maximum breaking load like we have with helmet chin straps or chainsaw lanyards ?

At average gravity on Earth (conventionally, g = 9.80665 m/s²), a kilogram mass exerts a force of about 9.8 newtons. An average-sized apple exerts about one newton of force, which we measure as the apple's weight.^[4]

1 N = 0.10197 kg × 9.80665 m/s²    (0.10197 kg = 101.97 g)

So Khriss gave a good approximation (water is 1kg/litre)

these questions are fairly common - in Bing etc type in 25N = kg

will return25 newtons = 2.54929053 kilograms-force

so round the answer to 2.55 kg (approx 2litres plus 550ml water) if you want to go all sciency you can weigh the container and deduct one ml of water for each gram the bottle etc weighs

round not truncate

Basically i failed woodwork O level....
