🔍 Key Concepts

• Synthetic vs natural fiber line properties (nylon vs manila/sisal) • How stretch (elasticity) affects shock loading and line behavior • Relative breaking strength of synthetic vs natural lines of the same size

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a line is used for towing or mooring in heavy seas: which material is preferred and why? • For the same diameter line, which material would you expect to handle higher loads before parting? • Does nylon behave more like a rubber band or more like a stiff rope compared to natural fiber? How does that relate to its strength?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare elasticity (amount of stretch) of nylon vs natural fiber under the same load • Compare breaking strength for equal diameter nylon vs natural fiber line • Eliminate any choice where both the stretch and strength trends contradict what you know about synthetic (nylon) line behavior
