   The first Prusik knot is attached to the "traveling pulley," allowing it to pull on the load. The second Prusik knot is used to hold the position of the rope and is referred to as a 'progress capture device' or ratchet. Because the tension on the line stores energy and could present a dangerous flying hazard if the rope were to break.

   Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

   Pulls involve the user pulling the rope towards oneself, either simultaneously or alternatively. [2] There are a multitude of other exercises that work various muscles of the body. [ 8 ] For instance, moving the ropes side to side will work out the hips and core to improve total body stability, whereas moving the ropes in circles will increase ...

   [12] Diagram 3 shows that now three rope parts support the load W which means the tension in the rope is W/3. Thus, the mechanical advantage is three. By adding a pulley to the fixed block of a gun tackle the direction of the pulling force is reversed though the mechanical advantage remains the same, Diagram 3a. This is an example of the Luff ...

   [8] "Rove to advantage" – where the pull on the rope is in the same direction as that in which the load is to be moved. The hauling part is pulled from the moving block. [6] "Rove to disadvantage" – where the pull on the rope is in the opposite direction to that in which the load is to be moved. The hauling part is pulled from the fixed ...
