Homework Statement
1) When a swimmer dives into water just before piercing himself into water, he stretches himself. Why?
2)In a tug of war if the parties on both ends of the rope apply apply equal and opposite forces on each other then how can one party win?
The Attempt at a Solution
1) I think, on stretching the body the resistance force by water on swimmer would decrease. But I cannot figure out the reason for it? Please help me.
2)I simply cannot figure out the reason. I drew the FBD's
the forces on the rope cancel out. the tension and the friction on each party is the same. But then how can a team win?
