A man is pulling a rope attached to a block on a smooth horizontal table. The tension in the rope will be the same at all points

A

if and only if the rope is not accelerated

B

if and only if the rope is massless

C

if either the rope is not accelerated or is massless

D

always

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The tension in the rope will be same at all points if it is massless or if the string has mass, the tension will be the same in the string when it is not accelerating.
