A person can lift readily, a bucket full of water from a well through a thick nylon rope but will be unable to do the same when he uses a thin multifibre metallic wire instead of the think nylon rope.

This is because

The hand experiences greater force through the nylon rope than through the metal wire

The hand experiences less force through the nylon rope than through the metal wire

More pressure is exerted on the hand when the metal wire is used as compared to the pressure exerted when a nylon rope is used

Less pressure is exerted on the hand when the metal wire is used as compared to the force exerted when a nylon rope is used

Explanation:

More pressure is exerted on the hand when the metal wire is used as compared to the pressure exerted when a nylon rope is used

-The three most common rope materials are nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. ... Polyester retains its strength when wet, and thus polyester ropes are generally stronger than nylon ropes when wet. Polypropylene is probably the most common material found in ropes used in the marine field.
