When you lie in a hammock, the force exerted on the support ropes is the combination of your weight and the tension in the ropes holding you up. This force is distributed between the ropes, with each rope supporting a portion of your weight. The total force is equal to your weight divided by the number of support ropes.
The support ropes of a hammock experience tension force when you lie in it. This tension force is a result of the hammock's weight pulling down on the ropes, which in turn creates an equal and opposite force of tension in the ropes to keep the hammock suspended.
