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.

What has a lower resistance a long thin iron wire at high temp or a short thick copper wire at low temp?

A short thick copper wire at low temperature would have lower resistance compared to a long thin iron wire at high temperature. This is because resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area and directly proportional to temperature and length of the wire. The short thick copper wire has a larger cross-sectional area, which results in lower resistance.


Does a short thick metal wire or a long narrow metal wire have more resistance?

A long narrow metal wire would have more resistance compared to a short thick metal wire. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area, so a longer wire with a smaller cross-sectional area will have higher resistance.


Which type of scissors would be better suited to cut a piece of metal one with long handles and short blades or one with short handles and long blades?

A pair of scissors with long handles would be ideal, because you can produce more torque when you close your fingers a further distance from the pivot point. In short: long handle, short blade.


Does a long spring stretch more than a short one?

Not necessarily. The amount of stretch in a spring depends on its elasticity and the force applied to it, rather than its length. A long spring may stretch more than a short one if it is made of the same material and subjected to the same force, but there are other factors that can affect stretching as well.

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.
