So the force of the car is 800 kg x 16.

4 m/s^2 = 13,120 N (newton)

"Now we need to calculate the opposite force, the one coming from the scrum of eight
rugby players. This will require some assumptions on our part, but we can do it," said
Browne.
"These blokes are nonsensically strong," said Browne. Let's assume they can squat about
two times their body weight. "If we use that bogus number from the video mentioning 831
kg as their collective body weight, that means each of the players weighs about 229
pounds."
For this activity, the acceleration "a" is gravity, as they move the mass perpendicular to the
ground. "Now we can calculate an estimate for the applied force due to their squats,"
Browne said.
Force = 831 kg * 2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 16,287 N (newton).
And now we have to add in the fact that the guys are pushing the sled at an angle. Call that
angle 30 degrees, so then 16,287 times the cosine of 30 degrees is 14,100 N.
"14,100 N versus 13,120 N is pretty close, close enough anyway," said Browne. "It looked
like the boys beat the car anyway, so I guess it's OK that this number is a tag higher."
After plugging all that in, "looks like these calculations back up the video. Tada!" But
Browne made one final point:
"If they kept this up much longer though, my guess is that the boys would run out of 'gas'
before the car does."
