Complete Question

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/s2.How much force does she use to pull on the rope

Answer:

The value is
`F = 150 \ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the man is
`m_m = 75 \ kg`

The mass of the woman is
`m_f = 100 \ kg`

The acceleration of the man is
`a_m = 2.0 \ m/s ^2`

Generally the force which she used to pull the rope is mathematically represented as

`F = m * a`

=>
`F = 75 * 2`

=>
`F = 150 \ N`
