joe and bill are playing tug-of-war. joe is pulling with a force of 200 n. bill is simply hanging on to the rope. neither person is moving. what is the tension of the rope?



Answer :

The tension of the rope is Static Equilibrium and tension on string is 200N.

What is Static Equilibrium?

When all the forces that act upon an object are balanced, then the object is said to be in a state of equilibrium. The forces are considered to be balanced if the rightward forces are balanced by the leftward forces and the upward forces are balanced by the downward forces.

This however does not necessarily mean that all the forces are equal to each other. Consider the two objects pictured in the force diagram shown below. Note that the two objects are at equilibrium because the forces that act upon them are balanced; however, the individual forces are not equal to each other. The 50 N force is not equal to the 30 N force.

According to question:

We have,

If no one is moving then,

Tension on string = 200 newton.

Thus, required tension on string is 200 N.
