Q

Which is the term given to a rope made of a combination of wire and fiber, known for its flexibility and elasticity?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope construction and how fiber cores affect flexibility • Differences between lay types (regular lay, Lang lay, spring lay) • How combining wire and fiber strands changes a rope’s elasticity

💭 Think About

• Which option names a specific lay/construction of wire rope that mixes wire and fiber to increase flexibility? • Think about which terms usually refer to how the strands are twisted versus which describe what the rope is made of (wire only vs wire plus fiber). • Among the answer choices, which one is most often associated with shock absorption and springiness in towing or mooring operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term explicitly involves wire and fiber strands together. • Check which options (if any) mainly describe direction of lay rather than composition. • Confirm which construction is commonly used where elasticity and cushioning are required (e.g., spring or shock loads).
