A
rope is a group of
yarns,
plies,
fibers or strands that are twisted or
braided together into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have
tensile strength and so can be used for dragging and lifting, but are too flexible to provide
compressive strength. As a result, they cannot be used for pushing or similar compressive applications. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, string, and
twine.
