The tension on a rope can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that the sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. By setting up equations for forces in each direction, one can solve for the tension in the rope.

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.
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.
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.
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 tension in the rope will be 100 Newtons. Each force of 100 Newtons will act in opposite directions on the rope, resulting in an equal tension force along the length of the rope.
