Suspend a weight on the rope and slowly increase the weight untill the rope breaks. If you want a more scientific approach you can use a tensile testing machine.

What will be the breaking strength of wire rope sling if SWL of wire rope sling 8T and factor of safety is 5?
1.6 ton The answer would be 40T, 1.6T is the WLL or SWL of an 8T nominal breaking strength rope.
Which one is greater yield strength or breaking strength?
The breaking strength is always greater than the yield strength.
How do you measure tensile strength of a solid?
The same way that you test the tensile strength of anything - break it in a universal testing machine! You have to be careful how you hold the rope though - you obviously cannot grip it the way you would grip a metal specimen (since the grips will cut the rope). Therefore the rope may be locked into special rope-testing grips or tied around a T-bar or pin in a particuar way. As long as the rope breaks n the central "guage length", you have a good result. If it breaks in the region where it is gripped or tied, the result is probably not correct.
What is the difference between Breaking Strength and Modulus of Rupture (ceramic tile)?
The modulus of rupture is the same as the breaking strength. It is a term used for ceramics where strength is dependent upon statistical distribution of flaw size, flaw shape, and moisture.
Why rupture strength is preferred to ultimate rupture strength?
Ultimate strength is used for materials that yield before breaking, like metals; rupture strength is for materials that break suddenly, like glass. Ultimate rupture strength would imply some yield strength before finally breaking and is not a preferred term for brittle materials like glass.
What will be the breaking strength of wire rope sling if SWL of wire rope sling 8T and factor of safety is 5?
1.6 ton The answer would be 40T, 1.6T is the WLL or SWL of an 8T nominal breaking strength rope.
Which is stronger a long rope or short rope?
Technically it doesn't matter. The length of a rope has no impact upon its breaking point and its strength. How the rope is anchored and any knots used is most important and usually will be responsible for the breaking point.
How do you calculate nominal breaking strength of nylon rope?
Look at boatsafe.com. It explains in detail the calculations for different rope types and sizes
How do i calculate nominal breaking strength of wire rope?
These are rule of thumb formulas but close to a manufacture's chart. for fiber core wire rope square the diameter times 42 = NBS Example, 1/2" x 1/2" x 42 = 10.5 tons UBS (Ultimate breaking strength) or NBS The formula is the same for IWRC, but use 45 as the multiplier, because of the higher strength in the rope. Example, 1/2" x 1/2" x 45 = 11.25 ton
Do different type of knots affect the breaking strength of a rope?
yes * Added - A rope is weakened by any knot, with the "worst" knots taking away as much as 60% of the ropes strength. This is why sailors and professionals learn a wide variety of knots, hitches, and bends to use the best one for the job.
Which one is greater yield strength or breaking strength?
The breaking strength is always greater than the yield strength.
A certain rope will break when a force of more than 800 N is exerted on it two men pull on the rope in oppositedirection with a force of 500 N eachWill the rope break?
The breaking strength of the rope has to be stated in terms of the "tension" in the rope, and that has to be the 800N quoted here. If the ends of the rope are pulled in oppposite directions with a force of 500N on each end, then the tension in the rope at any point is 1000N, and yes, it will break.
What does minimum breaking strength mean?
It means that a piece of rope or cable will, at least, be able to with stand that amount of weight. Don't go anywhere near this weight though.
How do you use workout ropes?
A workout ropes build your strength and stamina . A training rope workout is great for cardio and strength building. You can use it as a skipping rope or a pulling rope.
How do you calculate ultimate strength of a rope from the radious?
You cannot. The strength depends on the fibres that the rope is made from and how those fibres are woven or stranded together.
How would a measure a rope?
A rope is measured in metres, or feet.
Doubling the thickness of a rope will multiply its strength by how much?
AnswerDoubling the thickness of the rope means the diameter is doubled.Since the strength is directly proportional to the diameter square,then the strength will be more by four times.
