### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: In a tug of war, there are two teams pulling on opposite ends of a rope. Each team exerts a force on the rope in their respective direction. 2. **Equal Forces**: When both teams pull with equal force, the forces acting on the rope are balanced. For example, if Team 1 pulls with a force of 100 N to the right, Team 2 also pulls with a force of 100 N to the left. 3. **Net Force Calculation**: The net force acting on the rope can be calculated by adding the forces exerted by both teams. Since the forces are equal and opposite, the net force is: \[ ...

In a tug of war, when the two teams are pulling the rope, a stage comes when the rope does not move to either side at all. What can you say about the magnitudes and directions of the forces being applied to the rope by the two teams at this stage ?

STATEMENT -1 : In a tug of war game, the two teams always pull the masless rope with same magnitude of force . and STATEMENT -2 : The force exerted by any team on the rope is equal to tension developed in the rope which will be same at both the ends .
