Dear expert don't Use chat gpt 

Give FBD, explanation with equation 

 

Two perfectly matched athletes on level ground are pulling opposite ends of a rope in a tug of war. The rope is not moving or accelerating. Each athlete can pull with a force of 200 pounds. The system of interest is defined as the athlete holding the west end of the rope, (but not the rope itself, the other athlete, the ground, etc). Why does this athlete stay the same distance from the other athlete even though he is pulling so hard on the rope? Group of answer choices the ground is exerting a force in this athlete in the opposite direction to force exerted by the rope the other athlete is exerting a force in the opposite direction to the one he exerts both athletes are very tired from all the pulling and can't exert much force the rope is exerting forces on both athletes which keep them apart
