Default Physics Question, rope snaping


small diameter (undersized for the job) 30' rope.

Question: When the rope snaps, which way will it go?

Should it snap back towards the boat in tow (the load). Or should it snap
toward the boat pulling the load (the force)?

I was always taught that you look at the worst case first, in other words
the rope snaps in the center. And in that case the ropes will snap to their
respective tie points

Nylon rope acts like a rubber band so you can experiment safely with small
versions without having any serious harm. (wear eye protection)
The worst case with a tow line is when the cleat pulls out. That will come back
like a missile and can punch a hole in your boat.
It can certainly spoil your day. The general rule is to give any line under a
strain a wide berth.

you guys are nuts. what the hell way *can* the rope go? It is tied solidly at
each end, it breaks somewhere in between. You think the rope is going to untie
itself so it can follow the other broken piece?

When the rope snaps from reading your extremely stupid reply, it will go get
a gun and come after you.

I see by your ignorant statement that you know nothing of vector
mechanics and or physics, huh?
