Question 2147Deck General70% to pass
Using illustration D058DG below, which of the figures protects the stress bearing end of a wire rope from being crushed while forming a temporary eye splice using wire rope clips?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B.
The figure labeled C in the illustration protects the stress-bearing end of the wire rope from being crushed while forming a temporary eye splice using wire rope clips. This is because the thimble or ferrule helps distribute the load evenly across the wire rope, preventing it from becoming damaged or deformed under the pressure of the wire rope clips.
The other options are incorrect because A and B do not specifically address the function of protecting the stress-bearing end of the wire rope, which is the key requirement in this question. Option D is also incorrect because not all the figures in the illustration serve this specific purpose.
