4. Two teams are engaging in a tug-of-war. The
rope suddenly snaps. Which statement is true
about the forces involved?

longer equal; the teams will accelerate in
opposite directions as a result.

longer balanced by the fore of tension in the
rope; the teams will accelerate in opposite
directions as a result

SECTION B
INSTRUCTION: Answer all questions in this section
1. A 76.0 – kg person is being pulled away from a burning building as shown in the diagram below.
Calculate the tension in the two ropes if the person is momentarily motionless. Include a free – body
diagram in your solution.

2. A box of mass M = 10 kg rests on a 35o inclined plane with the horizontal. A string is used to keep the
box in equilibrium. The string makes an angle of 25o with the inclined plane. The coefficient of friction
between the box and the inclined plane is 0.3. (See diagram below)

a) Draw a Free Body Diagram including all forces on the particle with their labels
b) Find the magnitude of the tension T in the string
