Question

In a tug of war , two teams pull on the rope with a certain force. If team A pulls on it with a force of 225 N and team B pulls on it with a force of 360 N, what is the magnitude of the resultant force on the rope?

Answer 1

135 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a tug of war, team A pulls the rope with a force of 225 N; &

Team B also pulls with a force of 360 N

The magnitude of the resultant force is the difference between the two forces since they are positioned in the opposite direction.

Thus;

The magnitude = 360 N - 225 N

So, magnitude of resultant force on the rope = 135 N
