Which statement correctly matches each net to its mesh width?

• A. 5K uses 6 inches and 10K uses 7.5 inches
• B. 10K uses 7.5 inches and 5K uses 6 inches
• C. Both use 6 inches
• D. Both use 7.5 inches

Answer: (A)

Understanding cargo net sizing: the mesh width, which is the distance between openings, varies with the net’s rated capacity. Standards use a smaller mesh for lighter nets and a larger mesh for heavier nets to balance strength, weight, and how the load sits in the net. For the 5K net, the standard mesh width is 6 inches, while for the 10K net it is 7.5 inches. So the statement that 5K uses 6 inches and 10K uses 7.5 inches is the correct match. If both nets were the same size, or if the 5K used the larger 7.5-inch mesh, that would not align with the established sizing, which is why those other options aren’t correct.
