I was reading my book because I have test tomorrow and I saw this question. Can anyone explain and answer this?
If someone pulls an object once with long rope and another time with short rope and if Work and Displacement be same, explain which one the guy applied more force? (Do not consider friction.)

Is this question maybe relating to the internal stresses of a rope? Due to how ropes are woven, some of the force you apply is transferred into compressing/lengthening the rope. Longer rope means more material to deform before enough force is applied to move the object. The rope is also heavier and you gotta move that too.
