In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the right, four students pull with force 75 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the right, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?

1. In a tug-of-war game, 12 children pull on two sides of a rope. Define right as +x and left as –x. On the right, there are two children each pulling with a force of 122 N, one pulling with a force of 86 N, and three each pulling with a force of 102 N. On the left, there is one child pulling with a force of 180 N, two each pulling with a force of 90 N, and three...
Two men compete in a "tug-of-war". Both pull equally and the tension in the rope is 800 N. Each man must then be pulling with a force of a.) 0 N b.) 400 N c.) 800 N d.) 1600 N
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force FA of magnitude 203 N, and Charles pulls with force FC of magnitude 176 N. Note that the direction of FC is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force FB if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b)...
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force FA of magnitude 212 N, and Charles pulls with force C of magnitude 176 N. Note that the direction of Fc is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force F if Charles puls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b)...
Two people play tug of war. The 110 kg person on the left pulls with 1000 N and the 60 kg person on the right pulls with 700 N What is the magnitude (in N) of the net force on the left-side person?
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture (the given angle is 149°). The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force FA of magnitude 214 N, and Charles pulls with force FC of magnitude 182 N. Note that the direction of FC is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force FB if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn...
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture (the given angle is 134°). The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force FA of magnitude 204 N, and Charles pulls with force FC of magnitude 186 N. Note that the direction of FC is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force FB if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn...
A tug-of-war game is played by five children: three on one team and two on the other. How much force will the two-child team have to exert against the three child team in order to hold the rope steady if the three children opposing them exert forces of 300 N, 150 N, and 50N respectively? Will the force be equally distributed between the two children?
Arnold Strongman and Suzie Small each pull very hard on opposite ends of a rope in a tug-of-war. the greater force on the rope is exerted by Arnold, of course. Suzie, surprisingly. both the same, interestingly. A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. The spring exerts the greater force on the lighter car. heavier car. same on each. What is the force of...
Two perfectly matched athletes on level ground are pulling opposite ends of a rope in a tug of war. Each athlete can pull with a force of 200 pounds. The rope is not accelerating because to have the required strength the mass of the rope is very large each athlete is only able to apply a tiny force on the rope the athletes apply equal and opposite forces on the rope and the net force on the rope is zero
