Two men are pulling a rope in opposite directions with the same force 'F'. On another occasion the same two men tie one end of the same rope to the trunk of a tree and pull the other end with a same force 'F' each. In which of these two cases is the rope more likely to tear and Why?

The rope is likely to tear in the second case because in the first case the two force applied by both person cancel out.
But in the other case the two forces are diiferent- tree has a greater inertia thus it requires more force.Therefore the 2 boys can tear the rope by applying greater force together.

It is likely to tear in the 2nd case as the role does not move anywhere in the 1st case bit in the 2nd case since the whole pressure is applied in one side it will tear
