A nearer approximation to the specific breaking strengths of new cordage is found by dividing the square of its circumference by 2.5 for ropes of size up to 6 inches, and by 2·6 for ropes of size above 6 inches.
Intelekelelo esondeleyo kwinkcukacha zawona mandla eentambo ifumaneka ngokuthi kwahlulwe isikwere sesazinge sazo ngesi-2.5 ukwenzela iintsontelo ezinobude obuzii-intsi ezi-6, ukuze kohlulwe ngesi-2Â·6 ukwenzela iintsontelo ezinobude obungaphezulu kwee-iintshi ezi-6.
