Question

In a game of tug of wars, a condition of equilibrium exists. Both the teams pull the rope with a force of 10${}^4$ N. The tension in the rope is :

• A. 10${}^4$ N
• B. 10${}^5$ N
• C. 0 N
• D. 2 $\times$ 10${}^4$ N

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10${}^4$ N

In a game of tug of wars, a condition of equilibrium exists. Both the teams pull the rope with a force of 10${}^4$ N. The tension in the rope is equal and opposite to the force with which both teams pull the rope i.e., 10${}^4$ N.
