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
