Question
In a game of tug of war, the rope did not seem to be moving towards any of the teams even when the teams were pulling the rope hard. Which of the following could be a reason for this?
- The forces exerted by both the teams are equal in size
- The forces exerted by both the teams are oppositely directed
- The net force on the rope is zero
- All of the above
Hint:
The rope doesn't move when the forces applied are from the opposite direction and have equal sizes. The net volume will be zero.
The correct answer is: All of the above
- The object won't move when the forces applied to it are equal in size and opposite directed.
- If the rope is not moving in any direction on pulling, it means that the forces are equal on both sides.
- The net force of the forces will be zero when the same size forces are exerted from opposite directions.
