Two teams of students are having a tug-of-war. The rope passes through a small hole fence that separates the two teams.Neither team can see the other.Both teams pull mightily, but neither budges. As lunch time approaches the members of one team decide to tie their end of the rope to a stout tree while they take a lunch break. Can the other team tell that the first is not pulling on the motionless rope ? Analyse the forces in this problem.
