I came through this sentence in Manhattan SC.
I think the phrase a block is subjected are looks awkward. Is this sentence correct ?

Yes, it is.
The tidal forces to which an object falling into a black hole is subjected are sufficient to tear the object apart.
The subject is plural so the verb must be plural.

the tidal forces.. is this plural or singular.. as we are using 'THE'

Forces is plural and tidal is an adjective. Thus the correct verb is are.
