Question

Two platoons line up for a tug of war. If both platoons have the same number of participants on a team, what other factor is critical to either platoon's win?

A. age of men
b. height of men
c. total mass of the team
d. condition of the ground

Answer 1

The best answer would be C. Total mass of the team.

Step-by-step explanation:

C would be the best answer because when looking in the formula of force then the 2 factors that are inputted are mass and acceleration but in this case acceleration would most likely not have much have an effect so that leaves the factor of mass.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the game of tug of war, the Newton's third law is obeyed.

One team pulls the rope in one direction and the other team pulls the rope in another direction.

As the mass of one team is more, so it is harder to pull the rope by the another team.

So, it depends on the total mass of the team.

Option (c) is correct.
