Question
Using the concept and measurement of force, answer the following questions.
- Consider Anna, Jen, and James playing a tug of war. Anna and Jen pull from the right side and James pulls in the opposite direction. If each of them can only exert the same force while playing, who will win the tug of war? What is the direction of the horizontal summation of forces acting on the rope the three of them are playing?

First she asked you to move the picture to a higher position, then she asked you to move it back to its original place, and finally she asked you to move it at a lower height. If you exerted the same force every time you move the picture frame. What is the direction of the vertical summation of force you exerted on the picture frame?
- Which of the variables below equate to a Newton? a. 1 kg * m^2/s over s^3 b. 1 kg^2 * m(s) / kg (s^3) c. 1 kg^2 * m(s) / s^3
Solution
-
In the tug of war scenario, Anna, Jen, and James are exerting the same force. Since Anna and Jen are pulling from the right side and James is pulling in the opposite direction, the horizontal summation of forces acting on the rope will be in the direction of Anna and Jen. Therefore, Anna and Jen will win the tug of war.

When you move the picture frame at different heights, if you exert the same force each time, the vertical summation of force you exert on the picture frame will depend on the direction of the force. If you move the picture frame to a higher position, the vertical summation of force will be upward. If you move it back to its original place, the vertical summation of force will be zero since the force cancels out. Finally, if you move it at a lower height, the vertical summation of force will be downward.

The variable that equates to a Newton is option c. 1 kg^2 * m(s) / s^3. This is because a Newton is defined as the unit of force, which is equal to 1 kg * m/s^2. Option c has the correct units of kg^2 * m(s) / s^3, which can be simplified to kg * m/s^2, equivalent to a Newton.
