Fig.1 shows the system of mass m and rope of equal mass m is pulled by a force P .
 
The system is under accelerated motion with acceleration a due to the applied force P.
 
Fig.2 shows the free body diagram of rope and mass m showing the forces acting on rope and mass m .
 
F is the contact force between mass m and rope.
 
By Newton's third law , contact forces F acting on rope and mass are action-reaction pair ,
equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
 
If we apply Newton's second law to rope , we get
 
begin mathsize 14px style P space minus space F space equals space m space a end style  ...................(1)
 
If we apply Newton's second law to mass , we get
 
begin mathsize 14px style F space equals space m space a end style  ......................(2)
 
By adding eqn.(1) and (2) , we get ,  P = ( 2 m ) a
 
acceleration a = P / (2m)
 
Hence, we get contact force F from eqn.(2) , we get 
 
F = P/2
 
Hence force exerted by rope on mass m is P/2
