Let us begin by first representing the mast with a vertical straight line
and another line at an angle which is equal to the angle of the derrick
and a third line DE representing the span wire. Let us call the lines
AB, CD and EF.
Let us now assume that the above derrick has a load of 5 tonnes on
the runner as shown. A vector drawn equal in value to the load will
then represent the load.
Let the line FG represent the load which is 5 tonnes, so say 5 cms.
That is 1 cms = 1 tonne. The scale chosen can be of your choice.
Next draw a length equal to FI which represents the span load acting
on the derrick head. From these two forces that is FG and FI the
resultant DH can be worked by completing the parallelogram.
Now draw a line from G parallel to the span wire and cutting the
derrick line at H. Join HI which should be parallel to FG.

So in the above figure the following is a representation of the
vectors:
1. FG is one vector.
2. FI represents the second vector.
3. FH is the resultant of the above two forces.
S = W + (nW) x F/P
Once the stress on the hauling part is calculated, we now have two
values, as follows:
Once two forces are known the third that is the resultant can be
found by means of completing a parallelogram of forces. This is
drawn to any convenient scale.

In the figure above the black dotted lines represent the stress on the
Span block. AD represents the tension on the span line and AB is
equal in value to AD if using a single block (in static position). AC is
the resultant found by completing the parallelogram ABCD.
Proof load is the SWL plus % tonnage to which the lifting equipment
is tested to e.g.
If the SWL of the derrick is 60tons then the proof load to which it
should be subjected to is 66 tonnes.
