A and B are two persons playing tug of war and forces exerted by them are 50 and 30 N respectively.If C is the centre point , predict its position and find out the magitude and direction of the resulatant force?

Explanation

Since the applied forces are acting in the oppsite directions, the magnitude of the resultant force is (50-30) N = 20 N. The centre point C would shift towards A and the direction of the resultant force will also be towards A.
