Answer:
The forces acting on the rope is balanced.
Explanation:
- Since the rope is not moving at all,it has zero acceleration and that is why has zero velocity.
Now since, a = 0
=> F = ma
=> F = 0
Therefore,net force on the rope is zero. This can only happen when
- So, force on the rope by either side is equal and hence,balanced force is acting.
- Balanced force :- when net force on the system is zero,it is said to have under balanced forces.In this case,body moves with constant velocity as there is no acceleration.
- Unbalanced force :- When net force on the system is not zero,the forces are unbalanced force and in this case body has net acceleration in the direction of resultant force.
