In a radial-travelling cableway, two backstays are required at the stationary tower whenever the angle of travel approaches or exceeds:

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. The stationary tower of a radial cableway must resist a lateral pull as the travelling tower swings around. 2. For a small angle of travel, a single track-cable backstay is sufficient. 3. The unit states that when the angle approaches 20 degrees or more, two backstays are required. 4. The total angle of travel for a radial cableway is usually kept below 40 degrees. 5. The other values are below the two-backstay threshold. _Source: IGNOU Concrete Technology, Unit 7 "Concreting Equipment" (Mixers, Cableways, Batchers, Buckets, Pre/Post Cooling)._
