In a tug-of-war, team A pulls with 200 N, team B pulls oppositely with 250 N. The rope (light) experiences net force:
A450 N (both directions cancel)
B50 N toward A
C50 N toward B
D0 N
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 50 N toward B
Net force = larger - smaller = 250 - 200 = 50 N in direction of larger (toward B).
The rope and team A both move toward B.
