Arnold strongman and suzie small each pull very hard on opposite ends of a massless rope in a tug-of-war. the greater force on the rope is exerted by
a. arnold, of course
b. suzie, surprisingly
c. both the same, interestingly enough

The greater force on the rope is exerted by:

C. both the same, interestingly enough

Explanation:

The option c is correct as the rope is mass-less. Both Arnold and Suzie are pulling hard on opposite ends. But the tension of the rope is same at every point so that means both are exerting the same force on both ends of rope.The analogy for the given situation is that as when a vehicle moves on a road, the force exerted by the wheel of vehicle on the road is equal to the force exerted by the road on the wheel of vehicle.The options A and B can be possible if anyone of them exert more power on the ground through feet in this way, one can exert more force and can win.
