Question

Two classes of students line up for a tug of war. If both classes have the same number of students on a team, what other factor is very important so one team can win?
a. total mass of each team
b. condition of the ground
c. age of students on each team
d. height of each student on each team

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

In the game of tug of war, the force applied on both the teams is proportional to the mass of the team.

According to the Newton's second law of motion,

We need to apply more force on a body having more mass.

So, if the total mass of one team is more than the other team, so other team should have to apply more force to win the game.

Answer 2

I would say that the answer is A.
