in a tug of war the left team pulls with a force of 300N and the right team pulls with a force of 150N. what is the resultant force?
They are in opposite directions, so subtract to find the resultant force.
300 - 150
150 N
Fr = -300 + 150 = -150 N. = 150 N. to the left.
To find the resultant force in a tug of war situation, you need to subtract the smaller force from the larger force. In this case:
Resultant force = Larger force - Smaller force
Given that the left team pulls with a force of 300N and the right team pulls with a force of 150N:
Resultant force = 300N - 150N
= 150N
So, the resultant force is 150N.
