Net Force

in which case...

Question

in which case will the rope have greater tension:
1) two men pull the ends of the rope with forces F equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
2)one end of the rope is fastened to a fixed support and the other end is pulled by a man with force 2F.

Solution

In second tension will be more because net force in one direction is double the the other case.
