Question 2159Deck General70% to pass
A temporary wire eye splice made with three wire rope clamps will hold approximately what percentage of the total rope strength?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 80%.
A temporary wire eye splice made with three wire rope clamps will hold approximately 80% of the total rope strength. This is because the wire rope clamps provide a secure and reliable connection that can transfer a significant portion of the rope's tensile strength across the splice. The other options are incorrect because 20% (A) would be an unreliable splice, 50% (B) would be on the lower end of the expected strength, and 99% (D) would be exceptionally strong for a temporary splice.
