19. In a tug-of-war, each man on a 5-man team pulls with an average force of 500 N. What is the tension in the center of the rope?
(a) zero Newtons (c) 500 N (e) 5000 N
(b) 100 N (d) 2500 N
My answer was 2500 N as that is teh force pulling the rope, why the answer is 5000? are we talking about a 5-man team on EACH side?/
Thanks!
