Question
## 4.10 The Tension Force

### Problem Statement

A 49 N rock hangs from a rope (assume without any mass), which goes over a pulley and then attaches to another 49 N hanging rock. What is the tension in the rope?

### Multiple Choice Options:
- None of the choices are correct.
- 98 N
- 10 kg
- 5.0 kg
- 49 N

### Graphs or Diagrams:
No graphs or diagrams are present in the image.

### Explanation:
When analyzing the tension in the rope in a system like this where two equal weights are hanging on either side of a pulley, you can consider the forces acting on each side. The tension in the rope is equal on both sides and is equal to the weight of one hanging rock since they are equal and balance each other out.

Thus, the correct answer is:
- 49 N
