🔍 Key Concepts

• Scope of anchor cable and how it affects the pull angle on the anchor • Role of chain lying on the seabed in absorbing shock and maintaining a low lead angle • Shape of the catenary (curve of the chain) and how it changes with tension

💭 Think About

• Think about how an anchor actually holds: does it work better when the pull on it is more horizontal or more vertical? • Which of these options would keep more of the chain on the bottom and reduce sudden jerks on the anchor? • How does changing the catenary (making it tighter or flatter) affect the amount of chain resting on the seabed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice results in more horizontal pull on the anchor shank rather than upward pull? • Which situation gives more weight and friction from the chain on the seabed? • Eliminate any option that would lift the chain off the bottom or increase the pull angle on the anchor.
