Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two teams are playing tug of war.

Force applied by Team A,
F_A=450\ N

Force applied by Team B,
F_B=415\ N

We need to find the net force acting on the rope. It is equal to :


F_(net)=F_A-F_B


F_(net)=450-415


F_(net)=35\ N

So, the net force acting on the rope is 35 N and it is acting toward right. Hence, this is the required solution.
