Q

Nylon line is NOT suitable for __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Elasticity and stretch characteristics of nylon line under load • How shock loads affect different types of lines • Situations where too much stretch could be unsafe or ineffective

💭 Think About

• In which of these uses would a line that stretches a lot be a disadvantage rather than a benefit? • Which application requires the line to hold something firmly in place with minimal movement? • For which job could a sudden recoil (snap-back) from a highly elastic line be especially dangerous or ineffective?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare how much movement or give is acceptable for each option: stoppers, lashings, towing, mooring • Think about where shock absorption is good (like towing or mooring) versus where you want things held tight • Ask: in which role could nylon’s high stretch and snap-back cause problems instead of helping?
