Tension in a string being pulled from both ends

[QUOTE="AAAA, post: 4986132, member: 526957"] Right, so since the rope is stationary, I'm exerting a force upwards, which is equal to the acceleration by gravity, times the mass of the weight. (mass of rope isn't included because in class we've always assumed that ropes are inelastic and mass-less). So in this case, the force of tension in the rope is that value obtained by mg (or ma), despite there being two opposite forces acting as tension on the rope. Is that what you're getting at? Thank you both for your help so far. [/QUOTE]
