What is the computed breaking strength of a 4-inch manila line?

A 5,280 lbs.
B 7,700 lbs.
C 12,200 lbs.
D 14,400 lbs.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 14,400 lbs. The computed breaking strength of a 4-inch manila line is 14,400 lbs. This is based on the standard formula for calculating the breaking strength of a manila line, which takes into account the diameter of the line and the material properties of manila fiber. The breaking strength of a 4-inch manila line is approximately 14,400 lbs. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the standard breaking strength calculation for a 4-inch manila line. Options A, B, and C provide breaking strength values that are either too low or too high compared to the actual computed value of 14,400 lbs.
