Question

The strength of a stranded wire rope is proportional to

• A. The diameter of the rope
• B. Square of the diameter of the rope
• C. Square root of the diameter of the rope
• D. Inverse of the diameter of the rope

Hint:

Rope strength \(\propto d^2\), where \(d\) is diameter.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Strength of wire rope varies as the cross-sectional area, proportional to the square of diameter.
