Doug and Linda were playing tug of war Doug pulled the rope with the force of 10 and to the West Linda pulled the rope with the force of 12n to the east what was their net force and direction of motion
The net force is calculated by subtracting the force in the opposite direction. In this case, Linda's force is in the opposite direction to Doug's force.
Net force = 12 N (force to the East) - 10 N (force to the West)
Net force = 2 N to the East
Therefore, the net force is 2 N to the East, meaning that the rope will move in the Eastward direction.
