 . A 14 km/s loop increases speed by 69 m/s over a 100 km descent. That is a stretch of 0.49%, 20% of the strength/tensile ratio
 . A 12 km/s loop increases speed by 80 m/s over a 100 km descent. That is a stretch of 0.67%, 28% of the strength/tensile ratio

$ \large stretch ~ \approx ~ { \Large { { \mu ( r_2 - r_1 ) } \over { V^2 r_2 r_1 } } ~ \approx ~ { 9.64 ~ km^2/s^2 \over V^2 } } $
