Default Rope and Block Question #1

A load on the line is 1000 lbs.

You have just lead a line through a block, around
an angle of 180 degrees. What is the load on the
sheave? [1 pt]

For an angle of 90 degrees, what would be the load on
the sheave? [1 pt]

At what angle does the sheave load match the line load?
[1 pt]
