🔍 Key Concepts

• Regular-lay wire rope construction and how the strands are laid • Why seizings are used before cutting wire rope (to prevent unlaying and distortion) • How the diameter of the wire rope can affect the number and spacing of seizings needed

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the strands of wire rope when you cut it without enough seizings—how many seizings would reasonably keep all strands tight and even? • Consider whether larger diameter wire rope might need more support than smaller rope and how that might show up in the answer choices. • Compare the answer choices that change with rope diameter versus those that are fixed numbers—what does that suggest about practical seamanship?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many seizings per side are recommended in standard wire rope handling tables for regular-lay rope. • Check whether any common practice specifies a different number for larger diameters (around 1 inch and above). • Confirm that the chosen option provides enough restraint on each side of the cut to keep the rope from opening up or kinking when tension is released.
