Question 1671 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Gun tackle. The gun tackle, also known as a double purchase, is a type of tackle consisting of two pulley blocks with multiple lines running between them. This configuration provides a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift or move heavy loads. In the illustration D029DG, the tackle labeled as number 2 matches the description of a gun tackle. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the tackle shown in the illustration. B) Onefold purchase and C) Single purchase refer to different types of tackle that use a single pulley block. D) Whip is a simple tackle that uses a single line and a single fixed pulley.
