The line pull on your crane is 6,000 lbs and the load you want to lift weighs 25,000 lbs. What is the minimum number of parts of line needed to lift the load?

To determine the minimum number of parts of line needed to lift a load of 25,000 lbs with a line pull of 6,000 lbs, you can use the formula that relates load weight to the line pull and the number of parts of line.

When operating a crane, the line pull is essentially the maximum amount of weight that each part of the line can effectively lift. Therefore, to find the number of parts of line required, divide the weight of the load by the line pull.

In this case, you would calculate it as follows:

1. Total load weight: 25,000 lbs

2. Line pull per part of line: 6,000 lbs

Using the formula:

Number of parts of line = Load weight / Line pull

Number of parts of line = 25,000 lbs / 6,000 lbs

Number of parts of line = 4.17

Since you cannot have a fraction of a part of line, you must round up to the nearest whole number, which means you will need at least 5 parts of line to safely lift the load of 25,000 lbs.

This calculation supports the choice that 5 parts of line are necessary for effective and safe lifting. Each part
