Answer:
Explained below
Step-by-step explanation:
Newton's law of inertia states that An object at rest will remain continue at rest or if in motion, will continue in motion unless in both cases it is acted upon by a net external force.
Now, If two forces on the rope are equal and opposite forces, then the net force on the rope will be zero and it will not move. Thus,balance force is present in the rope and the rope will remain at rest since the net force is zero or it will continue in motion if already in motion without stopping since net force is zero
However, if the forces are acting in the same direction, it will result in an unbalanced force which means that the net force will be equal to the sum of the two forces and this will result in a stronger force than even the 2 individual forces and consequently it will cause the rope at rest to move, or if the rope is in motion, it will cause it to stop.
