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 else can I help you with?
What is a pulling force in a rope called?
A pulling force in a rope is called tension. Tension is the force exerted by a rope when it is pulled taut by two opposing forces.
What is the tension in the rope at that point?
The tension in the rope at that point is the force pulling in opposite directions at the point where the rope is being held or attached.
What is the reaction force to you pulling on a rope?
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.
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 is the direction of tension in a rope?
The direction of tension in a rope is away from the object to which the force is being applied. It is a pulling force that stretches the rope and opposes any external forces trying to compress or shorten it.
What is a pulling force in a rope called?

What is the tension in the rope at that point?
The tension in the rope at that point is the force pulling in opposite directions at the point where the rope is being held or attached.
What is the reaction force to you pulling on a rope?
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.

The direction of tension in a rope is away from the object to which the force is being applied. It is a pulling force that stretches the rope and opposes any external forces trying to compress or shorten it.
What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite forces 100 n each?
The tension in the rope will be 100 N, as both forces are pulling on the rope with equal magnitude but in opposite directions. This results in no net force being applied to the rope, maintaining the tension at 100 N.
What is the method to find the tension in rope a in a system of pulleys?
To find the tension in rope a in a system of pulleys, you can use the formula T W/(2n), where T is the tension in rope a, W is the weight being lifted, and n is the number of pulleys the rope is passing through.
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.
How does the tension in the rope compare to the weight of the hanging block?
The tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the hanging block when the block is stationary and not accelerating.
What is the force on a rope?
The force on a rope is typically determined by the tension applied to it. This tension arises from the pulling or stretching of the rope, causing the rope to support a load or resist a force. The force on a rope can be calculated using principles of Newton's laws of motion and equilibrium.
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 will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite force 100 each?
The tension in the rope will be 100 units, as each force of 100 units is acting in opposite directions. This results in a net force of zero in the system, meaning the tension in the rope will remain constant.
