A heavy block kept on a frictionless surface and being pulled by two ropes of equal mass m. At t = 0, the force on the left rope is withdrawn but the force on the right end continues to act. Let `F_(1)` and `F_2` be the magnitudes of the forces by the right rope and the left rope on the block respectively.

A

`F_(1) = F_(2) = F` for `t lt 0`

B

`F_(1) = F_(2) = F + mg` for `t lt 0`

C

`F_(1) = F. F_(2) lt F` for `t lt 0`

D

`F_(1) lt F, F_(2) =F` for `t lt 0`
