Answer:That depends on whether both people are pulling in the same direction against a fixed object or pulling against each other. If pulling in the same direction, the total force is 300 N + 300 N = 600 N. If the two people are pulling against each other, the total force is 300 N in the rope is 300 N, or a net of zero.
