Towrope tension??

Looking for information covering tension applied to a towrope during tow and any other maneuvers while on tow. Twins vs. singles. Scientifically applied or Kentucky windage guesses also welcome to be posted. Thanks, R Steady state calculations are interesting but irrelevant. Tow rope failure happens on a snatch, because a loop has developed and then the rope suddenly becomes taut; then the load depends on the separation rate, the extensibility of the rope and the mass of the glider.
