Respuesta :
The net force on the rope will not be zero, thereby causing the rope to move in the direction of the greater force.
The resultant or net force between two opposing forces can be determined by Newton's second law of motion.
- Let the force applied by the first group = F₁ = 10 N
- Let the opposite force applied by second group = F₂ = - 5N
- These two forces are unequal and also opposite in direction.
The resultant or net force exerted on the rope by the groups is calculated as;
[tex]\Sigma F_x = F_1 + F_2\\\\\Sigma F_x = 10 + (-5)\\\\\Sigma F_x = = 5 \ N[/tex]
Since the net force on the rope is not zero, it will move in the direction of the greater force.
