This problem concerns the concept of tension in a rope. Consider a rope subjected to a pulling force on its two ends as shown in (Figure 1). The rope is stationary. An arbitrary point P divides the rope into a left-hand segment L and a right-hand segment R. Figure wi L pull R 232 pull 1 of 3 Part A For segment R and segment L to hold together, they must exert forces on each other. What is the direction of the force exerted on segment R by segment L?
