The standard length of a 35 mm film reel is 1,000 feet (305 m), which runs approximately 11 minutes for sound film (24 frames per second ) [ 2 ] and about 15 minutes for silent film ...
The force on an anchor may be much greater than the weight of the climber. There are various mechanisms that contribute to excess force, including Direction of pull, or vector pulling; Fall factor (if a fall occurs) Stiffness (reduced elasticity) of the climbing rope and anchor materials; improper slippage through the belay device

The Anchor will close, likely for eight to 10 weeks, while crews open up the wall that separates the two sides of The Anchor, build new restrooms and reconfigure the layout to enlarge the kitchen.
When a ship anchors in relatively deep water (greater than about 35 metres or 20 fathoms), the anchor and rope that is let down becomes drenched with water, becoming prohibitively difficult to raise again, even with a mechanism like a capstan. This ultimately limits the depths available with ordinary rope to within the weight bearing capacity ...
In offshore applications, huge lengths of rope are often housed on drums. The anchor winches on Saipem's Semac 1 pipe laying barge, for example, each hold 2,800 metres of 76mm (3 inch) diameter wire rope in 14 layers. Saipem's Castorone, the world's largest pipe laying vessel uses a wire rope that is 3,850m long and 152mm in diameter. It weighs ...
Rope rescue is a subset of technical rescue that involves the use of rope, be it steel or cable rope, or more commonly used nylon, polyester, or other type of rope. Kernmantle (kern = core and mantle = sheath) rope as it is called, is available in various types: dynamic (stretches to absorb the shock of a falling lead climber or rescue ...
