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

What is the simple machine used to hoist the flag?
Rope and pulley.
What is the opposite of rope?
stop
Is a rope technology?
Rope is not technology. Most ropes consist of 3 long collections of thread that are pleated and burned at the ends to keep them together.
What type of simple machine uses grooved wheels and a rope to raise or move things?
A pulley. The wheels aren't necessarily grooved; you just need a way to prevent to rope from slipping off the wheel.
Metal spike with a hole at the end througe which you pass a rope are called?
a needle
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
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.
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.
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 measure breaking strength of rope?
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.
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.
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 distance using rope?
By checking how deep the rope is in the water.
A thick rope is stronger than a thin rope of the same material Is a long rope stronger than a short rope?
No. Length has nothing to do with the strength. The strength of a rope is found in the strength of the material, the thickness of that material and in the numbers of strands of the material that are interwoven. Length is not a part of the equation of strength. However, if you were to break a large number of short and long ropes, the short ropes will be stronger on average. This is due to the fact that the chance of a defect on a long rope is higher than the chance of a defect occurring on a short rope.
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.
