Question
In a tug-o-war competition, Team A pull with a force of 800 N, and Team B, with a force of 1.2 kN. State the magnitude and direction of the resultant of these forces.798.8 N in the direction of Team B400 N in the direction of Team B798.8 N in the direction of Team A400 N in the direction of Team A
Solution
First, we need to convert the forces to the same units. Team B's force is given in kilonewtons (kN), so we convert it to newtons (N) by multiplying by 1000. This gives us 1.2 * 1000 = 1200 N.
Next, we find the resultant force by subtracting the smaller force from the larger one. This gives us 1200 N - 800 N = 400 N.
The direction of the resultant force is the same as the direction of the larger force. Since Team B was pulling with a larger force, the resultant force is in the direction of Team B.
So, the magnitude and direction of the resultant of these forces is 400 N in the direction of Team B.

Two teams are playing tug-of-war. The number of people on both sides is given as input. After that, the weight of each person in the first team and the weight of each person in the second team are given. If the number of people in each team is not equal, two teams are not equal. If the number of people in each team is equal and the weight of each person in the first team matches the weight of each person in the second team, then print that the teams are equal.If the third person on the first team has a weight of 65, the third person on the second team also should have a weight of 65Explanation:33102030102030The first 3 are the number of people on team 1.The second 3 is the number of people on team 2Input format :The first n line of input consists of the number of people on team 1The second n line of inputs consists of the number of people on team 2Output format :The output prints whether the two teams are equal or not.Sample test cases :Input 1 :33102030102030Output 1 :Teams are equal.Input 2 :3410203010203040Output 2 :Teams are not equal.
Two tug boats are towing a large boat, of mass 15 000 kg, in an easterly direction in the channel towards the dock. The first tug boat is pulling with a force of F = 8000N 2 1 at an angle of 28° north of the forward motion and the second tug boat is pulling with a force of F = 8250N at an angle θ south of the forward motion. If there is a resistive force of 4200 N opposing the eastern motion of the large boat, calculate the easterly force acting on the large boat, to the nearest newton.
