Suppose 15 children who weigh the same are playing a game of tug-of-war. Five children pull with 5 newtons of force, while ten children
pull with 10 newtons of force in the opposite direction. How can one determine the net force on the rope?
b
с
Od
The newtons are in the same direction, so the newtons can be multiplied.
The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be divided.
The forces are in the same direction, so the newtons can be added.
The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be subtracted.
