Which ending is NOT acceptable in a wire rope that is free to rotate when hoisting?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Liverpool eye splice.
A Liverpool eye splice is not an acceptable ending for a wire rope that is free to rotate when hoisting because it allows the rope to twist and kink, which can lead to premature failure of the rope. The other options, A) eye formed with a pressure clamped sleeve, C) poured socket, and D) eye formed by clips, are all acceptable terminations for a wire rope that is free to rotate, as they do not allow the rope to twist and kink.
