Q

Which defines the standing part of a tackle?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tackle terminology: Know the difference between standing part, hauling part, fall, and hook • How a block and tackle works: One end of the line is usually secured, and the other is used to apply power • Made fast: In seamanship, what it means when a line is "made fast" to something

💭 Think About

• Picture a simple block and tackle: where is the line secured, and where do you pull? Which of those would stay fixed during operation? • Which option describes the part of the line that does NOT move relative to the block it’s attached to when you are hauling? • Look for the choice that talks about the end of the rope that is secured rather than the part you are pulling or the hardware like hooks.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers specifically to the line, not the hook or the power source • Check which description matches the end of the line that is secured/made fast and does not move when hauling • Eliminate any option that clearly describes the hauling part (the part you pull on) or the hook rather than the standing part
