When I work through the calculations, based on the numbers in your article, I get a different result - 0.3 for the first and 0.8 for the second. <br /><br />I get 0.3 by dividing the fall of 30 feet by the 100 feet of rope out, and 0.8 by dividing the fall of 20 feet by the 25 feet of rope out. Am I missing something?<br /><br />Many thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352166344614826568.post-53154190238812775742010-11-02T11:02:36.383-07:002010-11-02T11:02:36.383-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785994101413359048noreply@blogger.com
