To determine the net force on the rope, we need to calculate the total force exerted by each group of children and then subtract one from the other.
Group 1 (5 children pulling with 10 Newtons of force):
Total force exerted by Group 1 = 5 children * 10 Newtons/child = 50 Newtons
Group 2 (10 children pulling with 15 Newtons of force):
Total force exerted by Group 2 = 10 children * 15 Newtons/child = 150 Newtons
Net force on the rope = Total force exerted by Group 2 - Total force exerted by Group 1
Net force on the rope = 150 Newtons - 50 Newtons
Net force on the rope = 100 Newtons
Therefore, the net force acting on the rope is 100 Newtons.
25 children who weigh the same amount are playing a game of tug of war 5 children pull with 10 Newtons of force while 10 children 15 Newtons of force in the opposite direction how can one determine the net force of the Rope
