Question

Two people are pulling a rope with same force in opposite direction, calculate tension

Answer 1

Answer:

tension is same

Explanation:

same as everyone is in tension

Answer 2

There is tension equals to the force (pull) applied on the rope by those people.

The rope is not moving so we can here apply Newton's first law of motion, that if a body is not changing its state of motion then resultant of all forces acting on it must be zero.

Apart from the force applied by those men, there is an internal force resisting the deformation of the rope. that force is tension and it equals the pull applied.
