Question 2148 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 36. To find the distance the strands should be unlaid for an eye splice, you multiply the diameter of the wire in inches by 36. This is a standard guideline or rule of thumb used in making eye splices for wire rope. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the established practice for determining the unlaid length for an eye splice. Multiplying the wire diameter by 12, 24, or 48 would result in an unlaid length that is either too short or too long for a properly formed eye splice.
