In order to test the strength of a rope, one end is tied to a large tree and the other end is  hitched to a team of $2$ horses. The horse pull as hard as they can, but cannot break the  rope. If the rope is untied from the tree and attached to another team of $2$ horses  with equal strength, and the two teams pull in opposite directions, the tension in the rope  will

827-36

  • B

    remain the same

  • C

    increase by a factor of $2$

  • D

    increase by a factor of $4$

Consider a frame that is made up of two thin massless rods $AB$ and $AC$ as shown in the figure. $A$ vertical force $\overrightarrow{ P }$ of magnitude $100 \;N$ is applied at point $A$ of the frame.
