Resultant Force in Newton's Third Law of Motion

To solve this question, we need to first quote newton's third law of motion which states that;

To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Now, we are told that you pulled a rope with a force F. This means there will be an equal and opposite force being used by your friend also pulling the rope which will be -F.

Now, the tension on the rope will be the net force on the rope.

Thus;

Net force = Tension in rope = F + (-F)

Tension in rope = 0 N
