🔍 Key Concepts

• Count how many sheaves (grooves for the line) are in each block of tackle number 6 • Relate the number of sheaves and number of parts of line supporting the weight to the standard tackle names (single, double, twofold, threefold, etc.) • Distinguish between a general mechanical purchase name and a special-purpose tackle name like boat falls or clew garnet

💭 Think About

• How many moving sheaves are attached to the weight in tackle 6, and how many stationary sheaves are at the upper block? • How many parts of the line are actually supporting the weight, and what standard name is used for a tackle with that many sheaves? • Do special-purpose names like boat falls or clew garnet tackle depend on how many sheaves there are, or on what the tackle is used for on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully count the sheaves in both the upper and lower blocks of tackle 6 in the illustration • Verify how many parts of the fall are sharing the load on the weight in tackle 6 • Match that configuration to the standard term for a tackle made up of two blocks each having three sheaves before choosing your answer
