Two 4 kg blocks hang from a rope that passes over two frictionless pulleys . What is the tension in the horizontal portion of the rope if the blocks are not moving and the rope and the two pulleys have negligible mass?

The tension in the horizontal portion of the rope provided the blocks are not moving and the rope has negligible mass is 40 N

The tension in the rope is a pulling force that acts on the rope when the mass of 4kg is placed on each side of the two frictionless pulley.

According to Newton's second Law;

Force = (Tension) = mass × acceleration due to gravity

∴

We can say:

Tension = 4kg × 9.81 m/s²

Tension = 39.24 N

Tension = 40 N (to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, we can conclude that the tension in the horizontal portion of the rope is 40 N
