A 100-N little physics tyke hangs on the ends of a rope suspended over a pulley as shown. The tension in the rope is
1) 0 N.
2) 50 N.
3) 100 N.
4) 200 N.
It is interesting to note that
5) the tension in the rope at its midpoint (uppermost part) is 100 N.
6) this is a modified tug-o'-war example (simply draped over a pulley).
7) the net force acting on the rope is in this case identical to the child's weight.
