Complete Question

A 75 kg man and a 100. Kg woman are playing tug of war on a frictionless surface. The man accelerates toward the woman at 2.0 m/s2.How much force does she use to pull on the rope

Answer:

The value is  $F = 150 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the man is  $m_m = 75 \ kg$

     The mass of the woman is  $m_f = 100 \ kg$

     The acceleration of the man is  $a_m = 2.0 \ m/s ^2$

Generally the force which she used to pull the rope is mathematically represented as  

           $F = m * a$

=>         $F = 75 * 2$

=>         $F = 150 \ N$
