A rope of length $L$ and mass $M$ is being pulled on a rough horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force $F$ = $Mg$ . The force is acting at one end of the rope in the same direction as the length of the rope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rope and floor is $1/2$ . Then, the tension at the midpoint of the rope is
  • A$\frac{{Mg}}{4}$
  • B$\frac{{2Mg}}{5}$
  • C$\frac{{Mg}}{8}$
  • D$\frac{{Mg}}{2}$
