What is the maximum protrusion limit for any parts on the front, back, or underside of a swing?

  1. 1/8 inch

  2. 1/4 inch

  3. 1/2 inch

  4. 3/4 inch

The correct answer is: 1/8 inch

Protrusion limit refers to the maximum amount that a part can extend beyond the normal dimensions of an object. In the context of a swing, this would mean the maximum distance any part can stick out from the front, back, or underside of the swing. Options B, C, and D suggest larger protrusion limits, which could potentially be dangerous and cause hazards for users of the swing. Option A, 1/8 inch, is the most conservative and safe option for a maximum protrusion limit. It allows for minimal risk and ensures the safety of those using the swing.
