Sorry they jiggle on my page, but not on here.   redface:

As far as I can work out using basic maths, the distance would depend on the breaking strain of the rope. Once the length of rope down the hole equals the weight of the breaking strain, then it would  ....er...break.  lol:

Smartarse.......   thumbsup:

So... What about the Aeroplane then?

I wish people that accuse other people of not reading other peoples previous post's would er... look at the previous post's - Um  redface:  I think that's what I mean,  noooo: anyway I already said it!   spider:  Earlier, that is...

OK?

Or were you referring to the aeroplane?

That?s a stupid answer!

The question was how far could you (me) lower a rope down a hole or well or something?

Fact is, I couldn?t hold a length of rope that was soooo long that it broke under it on weight.

I think my answer was best.  whistle:

Agreed... although I have been arguing about it here: -
