During a game of tug-of-war, two people pull on a rope,
as shown in the image.
What is the net force acting on the rope?
EN
In which direction do the people move?
2

net force = 15N

on the 90N direction do the people move.

Explanation:

During a game of tug-of-war, two people pull on a rope, people on one side applying 90N force and on another side 75N force is exerting. To find the net force, we will find the difference between the two forces.

90N - 75N = 15N

The net force will be 15 N that will decide which direction people will move. 90 N side will pull the other group of people.
