What happens to a 60-degree sling angle when the sling length is matched to the diagonal distance between attachment points?

When the length of the sling is matched to the diagonal distance between the attachment points, the geometry of the setup maintains the original angle. In this scenario, when the sling is tightened, it creates a triangle with the horizontal distance between the attachment points at the base and the sling length as the hypotenuse.

Given that the angle is initially set at 60 degrees, matching the sling length to the diagonal ensures that the angle remains at 60 degrees. This relationship between the lengths involved (the lengths of the sling and the base) and the angles in a triangle is governed by the properties of triangles.

Therefore, as the sling is adjusted to match the diagonal distance, it effectively retains the original angle of 60 degrees, illustrating that the configuration is stable and responsive in maintaining this specific angle under tension.
