To determine the net force on the rope, we need to calculate the sum of all the forces acting on it. In this case, we have five children pulling with 10 newtons of force and ten children pulling with 15 newtons of force.
The net force can be found by adding up all the individual forces:
(5 children * 10 newtons) + (10 children * 15 newtons) = 50 newtons + 150 newtons = 200 newtons.
Therefore, the net force on the rope is 200 newtons, which is the combined force of all the children pulling in their respective directions.
Suppose 25 children who weigh the same are playing a game of tug-of-war. Five children pull with 10 newtons of force, while ten children pull with 15 newtons of force in the opposite direction. How can one determine the net force on the rope?(1 point)
