No. Length has nothing to do with the strength. The strength of a rope is found in the strength of the material, the thickness of that material and in the numbers of strands of the material that are interwoven. Length is not a part of the equation of strength.

However, if you were to break a large number of short and long ropes, the short ropes will be stronger on average. This is due to the fact that the chance of a defect on a long rope is higher than the chance of a defect occurring on a short rope.

Is long hair stronger than short hair?

It really depends on how healthy the hair is because just pretend you have one short haired dog and one long haired dog and i have one short haired dog and one long haired dog. You take GREAT care of the long haired dogs fur and not as good care of the short haired dogs fur and i am just the opposite. My short haired dogs fur will be stronger than my long haired dogs fur and your long haired dogs fur will be stronger than your short haired dog. So it just depends on how you care for the hair.
