🔍 Key Concepts

• Sling angle to the horizontal and how it affects tension in each leg • Relationship between leg length, included angle at the hook, and forces on the sling • Basic vector idea: as the angle becomes flatter, each leg carries more load

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the angle between the sling legs if you make them longer while lifting the same load to the same height. • Ask yourself which option is directly related to safety and reducing stress on the rigging hardware. • Which choice connects to how the load’s weight is distributed in each leg of the sling depending on the angle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Sketch the load, hook, and two-leg sling for both 30‑ft and 40‑ft lengths and compare the angle at the hook. • Recall that smaller sling angles (legs more horizontal) produce higher tension in each leg; larger angles (legs more vertical) produce lower tension. • Decide which answer choice is about the forces in the sling rather than convenience or geometry.
