Hi guys,
Doesn't need to be a full blown physics lesson but can anyone give me a rough breakdown on the strength of synthetic rope if a strand breaks?
e.g. If you have a 12 strange 12,000lb plasma rope do you lose 1,000lb of pull capacity per broken strand? Or more because they rely on each other for the total?
If you lose one strand to abrasion but aren't pulling anywhere near 12,000lbs is their any real need to replace it?
