This likely depends on how much force is applied to each hand. Force is applied toward your opponent, and your opponent is applying force directly back onto your hand. One's hand is forcing an amount greater than what you are applying, or vice versa, concluding in an arm down to the table. Sadly, I do not know how to answer this question any other way, due to lack of exact information.

All force is measured in Newtons, while the force applied is a push against your opponent.
