The answer may vary as the Earth is NOT ROUND, that's right, they thought it was flat but were wrong, then they thought it was round but were wrong and now they know it's elliptical.
Also the moons gravity can distort the oceans, tides vary and as rope floats, 2/3's of the circumference is water it makes a big difference.
However in your question you dont mention any of that criteria and therefore one could assume it to be cylindrical and the answer the same.
But I think there's ample rope to hang yourself.
