Description

This lecture explores the capstan problem, where a rope is wound around a pole and traction is applied to both ends, leading to equilibrium configurations with unequal forces. Through experiments with an empty jar and plastic fiber rope, the instructor demonstrates how the traction forces vary with the angle formed by the rope, following an exponential law.
