Question

In a game of tug of war, a rope is pulled by a force of 182 N to the right and by a force of 108 N to the left. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net horizontal force on the rope.

Answer 1

Answer:

74 N to the right

Explanation:

the forces are going in opposite horizontal directions, meaning that they are directly opposing each other. this means that you can subtract the force applied in the direction that is greater from the direction that is less to get the net force for the greater direction

this means 182 N - 108 N = 74 N to the right
