Each group in a tug-of-war pulls with 1000 N on each side of the rope. The net force on the rope is
1) 0 N
2) 500 N
3) 1000 N
4) 2000 N
and the tension within the rope is
5) 0 N.
6) 500 N.
7) 1000 N.
8) 2000 N.
Question 2
If an 800-N man hangs motionless from four vertical strands of rope, then the tension in each strand of rope is
1) 0 N
2) 200 N
3) 400 N
4) 800 N
which results in a net force on the man of
5) 0 N.
6) 200 N.
7) 400 N.
8) 800 N.
