70% to passIf the towing bridle legs are not of equal length _______________.
A
excessive strain is placed on the shorter leg
B
the longer leg is slack
C
the shorter leg may fail
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. When the towing bridle legs are not of equal length, it can lead to several issues: 1. Excessive strain is placed on the shorter leg, as it has to bear more of the load compared to the longer leg. 2. The longer leg becomes slack, which can cause instability and make the towing arrangement less secure. 3. The shorter leg is more susceptible to failure, as it is subjected to higher stresses and strains. Therefore, all three options are correct, and towing bridle legs should be of equal length to ensure the safe and effective operation of the towing arrangement.
