The team to win in a tug of war is the team that
a. pulls harder on the rope to produce greater tension in it
b. pushes harder on the ground
c. neither of these
d. both of these
The tension produced in the rope by each team is equal in magnitude due to Newton’s third law of motion.
The team which wins, actually pushes harder on the ground so that the net backward force on the winning team is greater.
Hence the correct option is (b).
Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1,140 N, and the 70-kg person on the right pulls with 835 N. Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons?
2) Joe and Bill are playing tug-of-war. Joe is pulling with a force of 200 N. Bill hanging on to the rope. Neither person is moving. What is the tension of the rope? is simply
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
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?
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?
Two people play tug of war, with each of them pulling 400 N. What is the tension in the rope?
Two teams of people are involved in tug of war. Since the forces exerted by each team on the other is equal and opposite by the third law, how is it possible for either team to win. explain carefully, using appropriate free body diagrams, how one team can win
Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. The first team's members have average masses of 66 kg and exert average forces of 1350 N horizontally. The second team's members have average masses of 71 kg and exert average forces of 1374 N horizontally. (a) What is the acceleration of the two teams? _ m/s2 (in the direction the heavy team is pulling) (b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?...
Tug of war in outer space Suppose that Amy and Bob are two astronauts floating deep in outer space, where there is no gravity or friction to interfere, and they decide to have a tug of war. They agree that the loser of this is the one who crosses over the halfway between them first. Bob has a larger mass than Amy, but Amy is stronger than Bob. They begin at rest relative to each other. Assume that they keep...
In a study of the
biomechanics of the tug-of-war, a 2.0-m-tall, 80.0-kg competitor in
the middle of the line is considered to be a rigid body leaning
back at an angle of 30.0?
to the vertical. The competitor is pulling on a
rope that is held horizontal a distance of 1.5m from his feet (as
measured along the line of the body). At the moment shown in the
(Figure 1) , the man is stationary and the tension in the...
