If nylon is sensitive to moisture absorption, why can it still function well as a tow rope for water skiers?
What will be an ideal response?
The absorption of cold water is very slow in nylon. Furthermore, tow ropes are usually not totally submerged for long periods of time and therefore do not have
high absorptions. Furthermore, nylon ropes are seldom pulled to their limit in this application so the small decrease in tensile strength is not critical.
