Answer:

Nothin will move, it will stay the same since no force is greater than the other. it's "the same amount of force" which also means an equal amount of force

Step-by-step explanation:

The forces are only equal if there is no acceleration (which in the game of tug of war, accelerating yourself and your opponent is the idea). If the force on the rope and the ground are both equal either nothing moves or some other force is being applied in the system.

Hope this helped!
