pull on Trinity with lower force

pull on Trinity with equal and opposite force

push on Trinity in the same direction as her force

pull on Trinity with a greater force
Best answer

Answer 1

The best answer is: pull on Trinity with equal and opposite force.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when Trinity pulls on the rope, the rope exerts an equal force back on her in the opposite direction.
