Question 617 Deck General

The correct answer is D) tension in the sling legs is less. When using a two-leg sling to lift a load, a longer sling (40 feet) will result in lower tension in the sling legs compared to a shorter sling (30 feet). This is because the longer sling will have a shallower angle between the sling legs, which reduces the tension and stress on the sling material. The lower tension in the sling legs makes the 40-foot sling a better choice for lifting the load safely. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the key factor of sling tension, which is the most important consideration when selecting the appropriate sling length for a given lift.
