Finding the spring constant of a rope

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6857031, member: 447632"] I compare a SHORT kinetic rope, (or a wire cable), with a long kinetic rope. A kinetic rope stores energy as it is stretched. The total energy stored, without tensile failure of the rope, is proportional to the length of that rope. Your winch was NOT worthless, the failure was clearly with your vehicle's anchorage to the ground. You overcame the poor anchorage by using the unsafe practice of yanking on the rope, which required an extra thick rope, which further encourages the unsafe practice of yanking as a recovery technique. Understand the physics, stop yanking, and use a better anchor. [/QUOTE]
