  1. Movement would be zero.  Tension is from the forces pulling on the rope.  The harder they pull, the more tension.  If one pulls harder, then it begins to accelerate in that direction.  Tension is then equal to the weaker force.


  2. tension is a vector which directs in the direction opposite to the force applied .

    so when equal forces are applied from opposides equal tensions are produced in the rope the opposite direction and they cancel each other resulting to net resultant =0

  3. tension wil be sum of both the forces.tension we hv to calculate on rope.it will be sum of all the forces which are acting on rope.the both forces gets added to give the total tension.
