Answer: 3

The capacity of a 3 inch nylon web sling at an angle of 45 degrees is 4,665 lbs.
4,665 x 2 = 9,330 lbs

The capacity of a 2 inch nylon web sling at an angle of 45 degrees is 3,110 lbs.
3,110 x 2 = 6,220 lbs (too small).

10.

Answer: 9/16 inch



20 feet

The capacity of 9/16 inch wire rope slings in a 2-leg bridle configuration at a 60 degree angle is
9,900 lbs.

a) Since both legs of the 2-Leg bridle are the same


length (20 feet), the angles must be the same,
i.e. 60 degrees.

20

c) A triangle with 3 equal angles must also have 3


equal sides. Therefore, the distance between
the attachments is 20 feet.

www.fulford.ca

20

b) There are 180 degrees in a triangle, so the third


angle (at the top) is 180 60 60 = 60 degrees.
