The breaking strength of the service lines of the rockets used with an impulse- projected, rocket type line throwing appliances is _______________.

A 300 lbs
B 500 lbs
C 1000 lbs
D 1500 lbs
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 500 lbs. According to the regulations for impulse-projected, rocket type line throwing appliances, the breaking strength of the service lines must be at least 500 lbs. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 160.040-5(c)(3). The other answer choices are incorrect because 300 lbs (A) is too low, and 1000 lbs (C) and 1500 lbs (D) are higher than the minimum required breaking strength.
