Which type of rope drum is preferred?
A)
Drums with helical grooves
B)
Plain cylindrical drums
C)
Both are equally preferred
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   Drums with helical grooves

Explanation : They have more bearing surface of the drum and prevent friction between adjacent turns of the rope.

Small sheaves are preferred over large sheaves on what parameters?
A)
Higher cost of small sheaves
B)
Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves
C)
Preferring centrifugal force reduction even for more money
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves

Explanation : Larger sheaves have higher centrifugal forces and higher cost because more material is used in their construction.
