Question

John and Daniel are playing tug-of-war together. John is exerting 10 N of force. Daniel is exerting 12 N of force. What is their net force? A. 22 N in John's direction B. 2 N in John's direction C. 2 N in Daniel's direction D. 22 N in Daniel's directionRes

Solution

The net force in a tug-of-war is calculated by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force. The direction of the net force is the same as the direction of the larger force.

In this case, Daniel is exerting more force (12 N) than John (10 N). So, we subtract John's force from Daniel's force:

12 N (Daniel's force) - 10 N (John's force) = 2 N

So, the net force is 2 N in the direction of the larger force, which is Daniel's force.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2 N in Daniel's direction.
