Help calculating load

[willbranch]

I'm seeking easy equations or a calculator to figure shock load and swinging loads. I've found a fall factor calculator on a rock climbing site that works for the shock load, but I'm not sure the numbers are correct due to different definitions of static/dynamic lines and drt applications. Any help with this would be great!

I think spidy is the man too.. BUT aren't those numbers reflective of no stretch or run?

That will depend on the rope construction, diameter and fiber being used. The tree species, angle of the branch union, how much rope is in the system, pulley or natural crotch will play a role too.
