C11: In the 17th century, Otto von Guericke, the mayor of Magdeburg, Germany, fitted two hollow bronze hemispheres together and removed the air from the resulting sphere with a pump. Two eight-horse teams could not pull the halves apart even though the hemispheres fell apart when air was readmitted. Suppose von Guericke had tied one team of horses to one side and bolted the other side to a heavy tree trunk. In this case, the tension on the hemispheres would be

1. twice

2. exactly the same as

3. half

what it was before.
