What is the maximum angle range when using two anchors for one rope?

• A. 90 degrees to 120 degrees
• B. 0-90 degrees
• C. 120-180 degrees
• D. 45-60 degrees

Answer: (A)

When you use two anchors for a single rope, the angle between the two anchor points directly affects how much load the anchors and the rope must carry. As that opening angle increases, the force that each anchor must resist grows, making the system more demanding on the hardware and potentially less stable under load. To keep forces within typical safe ratings and maintain predictable behavior, a practical maximum range is about 90 to 120 degrees. Within this range, you avoid the hazards of both overly small angles (which can complicate load distribution) and angles that become too large (which dramatically increases anchor loading). The other options describe narrower or much larger ranges that don’t represent that practical maximum, so the best choice is the 90–120 degrees range.
