### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Situation**: In a tug of war, two teams are pulling on opposite ends of a rope. At a certain point, the rope does not move to either side. 2. **Identifying Forces**: Each team applies a force on the rope. Let's denote the force applied by Team A (on the left) as \( F_A \) and the force applied by Team B (on the right) as \( F_B \). 3. **Condition of Equilibrium**: When the rope is not moving, it indicates that the forces acting on it are balanced. This means that the net force acting on the rope is zero. ...

A heavy rope of mass m and length 2L is hanged on a smooth little peg with equal lengths on two sides of the peg. Right part of the rope is pulled a little longer and released. The rope begins to slide under the action of gravity. There is a smooth cover on the peg (so that the rope passes through the narrow channel formed between the peg and the cover) to prevent the rope from whiplashing. (a) Calculate the speed of the rope as a function of its length (x) on the right side. (b) Differentiate the expression obtained in (a) to find the acceleration of the rope as a function of x. (c) Write the rate of change of momentum of the rope as a function of x. Take downward direction as positive (d) Find the force applied by the rope on the peg as a function of x. (e) For what value of x, the force found in (d) becomes zero? What will happen if there is no cover around the peg ?

In a tug of war, three men pull on a rope to the left at A and three men pull to the right at B with forces of equal magnitude.

If so, determine the magnitudes of the forces at A and B required to do this.

Holding on to a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 45 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angle of 8.0^(@) with the horizontal. What is the magnitude F_("rope") of the force on the skier from the rope when (a) the magnitude v of the skier's velocity is constant at 2.0 m/s and (b) v = 2.0 m/s as v increases at a rate of 0.10" m"//"s"^(2) ?

One end of meter stick is pinned to a table to that stick can rotate freely in aplane parallel to the table surface. Two horizontal forces are applied to the stick such that the rod does not rotate at all. One force has a magnitude of 2N and is applied perpendicular to the stick at the free end. The other force has a magnitude of 8N and acts at 30^(@) with respect in the length of the stick. At what distance from the pinned end is the 8N force applied.
