Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move in any direction. What can you say about the force applied by Team B?

You can say that Team B is pulling the same amount of force (103 newtons), which is why the rope is not moving in either direction.

Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.
