you're right, the static refers to an object hanging from the end. However, upon impact, dynamic ropes typically have around 30% elongation.

The 7.4 is dynamic elongation. Don't know why it says static. You can confirm it on Metolius' website (http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/monster_10-2mm_dynamic_rope.html). Technically, I don't think there is such a thing as static elongation (if so, its very minimal). Perhaps the static here refers to an object hung from the end and not moving - ie after the fall has occurred?
