    0 N

    Explanation:

    Tension: This is the force that is transmitted through rope, string or wire when pulled by two opposite force. The unit of tension is Newton (N).

    Tension is a vector quantity.

    The expression of tension is given as,

    T = F-F' (opposite direction) ... Equation 1

    Where T = Tension, F = force of the exerted by the first athlete, force exerted by the second athlete.

    From the question,

    Both athletes pull the ropes with equal force of 600 N.

    F = F' = 600 N

    T = 600-600

    T = 0 N.

    Hence the tension in the rope = 0 N
