fishermans knot

*Correction - The Carrick Bend. The fisherman's knot is a simple whip to join a hook to a line. The Carrick Bend is secure, cannot be "spilled" and doesn't put undue strain on the ropes, decreasing their strength.

Why does rope unwind For example if there are two ropes that are twisted together WHY do they unwind again?

Basic answer is that when twisting two ropes together you are causing tension in the fibers of the ropes as they bend around each other. If you don't secure both ends of the two ropes the tension will pull the ropes back to their relaxed state. Think of stretching out and wrapping a rubber band around your finger.

What hitch or bend is used to tie two ropes together?

Depending on how permanently the lines are to be joined, several bends will work. The Sheet Bend or Becket is good for temporary connections. For a fast disconnect, a Slippery Sheet Bend is made by slipping a bight of line through to finish the knot instead of the end of the line. Then a pull on the end will open the knot. For a more secure bend the Double Becket will work well. For even more security and a knot that will untie even after severe loading, use two Bowline knots with the loops through each other.

How do you calculate the degree of a bend?

To calculate the degree of a bend, you can use the formula: Degree of Bend = (Arc Length / Radius) × (180/π). Measure the arc length of the bend and the radius of the bend. Then, plug these values into the formula to obtain the degree of the bend in degrees. This method is commonly used in fields like metalworking and pipe fitting.
