Calculate the load factor for a configuration with angle factor 1.73 and reeve factor 0.75.

Calculate the load factor for a configuration with angle factor 1.73 and reeve factor 0.75.

• A. 1.30
• B. 1.50
• C. 0.92
• D. 1.95

Answer: (A)

When two factors affect load in a multiplicative way, you multiply them to get the overall load factor. Multiply 1.73 by 0.75 to get 1.2975, which rounds to 1.30. The other options don’t come from the product of the two factors, so the product is the correct method and result.
