Practice Question

A girl and her dog are playing tug of war with a piece of rope. The girl pulls on the rope with a force of 165 newton (N) toward the east, and the dog pulls with a force of 190 N toward the west. What is the net force on the rope?

Answer Choices:

A. 35 N toward the east

B. 25 N toward the west ✓ Correct Answer

C. 190 N toward the west

D. 165 N Toward the east

Correct Answer:

25 N toward the west

Rationale:

This is a net force question involving opposite directions. Since the forces act in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger:

190 N (west) – 165 N (east) = 25 N (net force toward the west)

Because the dog’s force is greater and it’s toward the west, the net force is 25 N west.
