🔍 Key Concepts

• Gravity davits are used to launch lifeboats or rescue boats quickly using their own weight • The falls are the ropes or wires that actually lower and raise the boat • Think about which material is strong, low‑stretch, and durable in saltwater for supporting a loaded lifeboat

💭 Think About

• If a fully loaded lifeboat is hanging from the falls, which material would be safest and most reliable under shock loads? • Which materials from the choices are commonly used for lifting and hoisting gear on SOLAS lifeboats? • Would you expect critical lifesaving gear to rely on natural fiber, synthetic line, or steel for the main supporting element?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which material is standard for lifeboat falls on gravity davits in modern SOLAS equipment • Consider which materials are most resistant to chafe, UV damage, and sudden overload • Eliminate any options that are mainly used for mooring lines or general-purpose rope, not primary lifting falls
