Problem P. 3867. (February 2006)

P. 3867. An unstretchable string of uniform density and constant diameter is suspended at one of its ends and is hanging. At a length of L it breaks under its own weight. Is it conceivable that there is such shape of string which does not get broken under its own weight however long it is?
