1.	Two persons pull a rope by its two ends, exerting equal but opposite forces F. In another situation, one end of the rope is tied to a rigid support and a person pulls it with a force of 2F. In which case will the tension in the be greater ?
Answer» SOLUTION :TENSION in the rope in the SECOND CASE will be greater i.e., T. = 2F, whereas the tension, in the FIRST case is T = F.
