It can be very great. In one sad incident in India years ago, a mass tug 'o war with two thousand men snapped a 2 inch nylon cable. The broken ends flew back like a giant whip, tearing off fingers and inflicting other injuries.
Every rope is rated in breaking strength and safe working load, which is typically10-15% of the breaking strength. (It depends on the rope material). In countries using the American System, this is expressed in pounds; in those on the Metric System, in either kilograms or newtons.

What is the direction of tension in a rope?
The direction of tension in a rope always runs both ways and parallel to the rope.
What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite forces 100 n each?
Neglecting the weight of the rope itself, the tension will be 100 newton in any part of the rope.
What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its end by two opposite forces 100Newton each?
In that case (ignoring the weight of the rope, for simplicity), the tension at any point of the rope will also be 100 N.
What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite force 100 each?
the tension in rope is equal to the sum of the two forces
What is the reaction force to you pulling on a rope?
the force of tension in the rope, which is delivered to the object to which the opposite end of the rope is attached
What is the direction of tension in a rope?
The direction of tension in a rope always runs both ways and parallel to the rope.
What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by to opposite forces100 N each?
Assuming you meant two forces, the tension will be 200N.

What is a pulling force in a rope called?
Tension
What is the reaction force to you pulling on a rope?
the force of tension in the rope, which is delivered to the object to which the opposite end of the rope is attached
Which force happens when a rope or chain is pulled harder in two different directions?
You get a tension in the chain or rope.
What is the tension in a roper that is supporting a 4.2 kg bucket?
If the rope is hanging vertical ... one end from the ceiling and the other end to the bucket ... then the tension in the rope is 41.16 newtons (9.26 pounds).
A 2.0 kg rope hangs from the ceiling What is the tension at the midpoint of the rope?
In a rope with mass, the midpoint will have half the tension since it's only holding up half the mass.1kg x 9.8 m/s^2= 9.8N
What is a sentence using tension as a noun?
The mountaineer kept tension on the rope so that his companion could climb to the ledge.
A certain rope will break when a force of more than 800 N is exerted on it two men pull on the rope in oppositedirection with a force of 500 N eachWill the rope break?
The breaking strength of the rope has to be stated in terms of the "tension" in the rope, and that has to be the 800N quoted here. If the ends of the rope are pulled in oppposite directions with a force of 500N on each end, then the tension in the rope at any point is 1000N, and yes, it will break.
