The average force a person can pull a rope with can vary widely depending on factors such as individual strength, technique, and weight being pulled. On average, a person can exert a pulling force between 50-200 pounds.
Force can be either a push or a pull. When you push a door open or pull a rope, you are applying a force in that direction.
When people are pulling on a rope, the primary forces acting on them are tension in the rope (the force exerted by the rope on each person pulling) and friction between their feet and the ground (to prevent slipping). Additionally, each person must exert a force in the direction of the pull, counteracting the tension in the rope to move the object.
A rope and pulley lessen the force needed to pull an item, but it increases the distance that you have to pull it. It also changes the direction that it moves: you pull the rope down, the item goes up.
When you pull a rope that is attached to a wall, you exert a force on the rope in one direction (action). In response, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the rope in the opposite direction (reaction), as described by Newton's third law of motion.
If both dogs pull the rope with a force of 85N each in opposite directions, the rope will experience a tension of 85N as well. Since the forces are equal and opposite, the rope will not move in either direction.

The stretching force that occurs in a spring or rope being pulled is called tension. Tension is the force that tends to stretch or pull apart the material it is acting on.
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.
Tension (often found in a pulley system) is a pulling force found in rope. This will work in 2 directions.
The reaction force to you pulling on a rope is the tension force exerted by the rope in the opposite direction. This tension force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force you apply to the rope.
When you pull on the rope, the side with the most force will win.
The person transfers mechanical energy to the rope as they pull it up and down at point A. This action causes the rope to move and store potential energy as it is lifted against gravity.
Using a longer rope to pull something is easier because it allows for more leverage and a better angle of pull. A longer rope can help distribute the force more evenly and reduce the effort needed to overcome friction. Additionally, it can provide more distance from the object being pulled, allowing for a smoother and more controlled movement. This results in less strain on the person pulling and makes the task more manageable.
