In a tug-of-war,one team gives way to the other. What work is being done and by whom?
(N/A) In a tug-of-war,the winning team exerts a force on the losing team,causing them to move in the direction of the force.
Since the force applied by the winning team and the displacement of the losing team are in the same direction,the winning team performs positive work.
The magnitude of the work done is equal to the product of the resultant force applied by the winning team and the displacement undergone by the losing team.
