Question

4 people are playing a tug of war. Two are pulling on the right side. Two are pulling on the left side. On the right side, one is pulling with a force of 60 N and the other with a force of 70 N. On the left side, one is pulling with a force of 30 N. How much force should the second person on the left apply to keep the rope in equilibrium? HINT: The rope will be in equilibrium if the net force is 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

100

Explanation:

since the two at the left side is pulling with a force of 70 and 60 which equals to 130 for the rope to be in equilibrium, those at the left must also pull with same force. Which makes it 130-30=100N
