Which statement about net capacities is correct?

• A. The 5K cargo net capacity is 5,000 lbs.
• B. The 10K cargo net capacity is 20,000 lbs.
• C. The 5K cargo net capacity is 10,000 lbs.
• D. The 10K cargo net capacity is 5,000 lbs.

Answer: (A)

Net capacities use the letter K to denote thousands of pounds, so the number indicates the load in thousands of pounds. A 5K net is rated for 5,000 pounds, and a 10K net is rated for 10,000 pounds. Therefore, the statement that the 5K cargo net capacity is 5,000 lbs is correct. The other options mix up the scale (10K is not 20,000 or 5,000, and 5K is not 10,000).
