In a tug of war, when the two teams are pulling the rope, a stage comes when the rope does not move to either side at all. What can you say about the magnitudes and directions of the forces being applied to the rope by the two teams at this stage?

Given that the rope does not move to either side at all. So it can be said that the net force applied to the rope is zero so magnitudes of forces applied by both teams are equal and opposite in direction.
