Problem 5DQ

If the two ends of a rope in equilibrium are pulled with forces of equal magnitude and opposite directions, why isn’t the total tension in the rope zero?

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution to 5DQ Step 1 A string is pulled at both the ends with two equal and opposite forces. Vectorially, the two equal and opposite forces cancels out each other thus, at the centre of the rope equilibrium exists.
