You and some friends are at the park. You find some rope and decide you’d like to play a game of tug-of-war. Unfortunately, there are 5 people so you can’t have an equal amount of people on each side. One of your friends suggests that the two biggest people should be on one side, while the three smaller people should be on the other side. Do you think this is a fair way to split up teams?

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

It's not because when there aren't equal groups one team will have more weight than the other team making it easier for the team with 2 people win.

I think that it is a fair way to play tug-of-war due to the possible similarity in the weights and forces on each side.

Application of force.

To identify exactly if a distribution of two groups made up of three people and two people, the exact weight of the members must be known. How do you know, the force formula is:

  • [tex]Force = mass * acceleration[/tex]

The formula indicates that the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force it produces, therefore, the more weight a person has, the greater force they can exert.

Taking into account the definition above, if the two largest people weigh 150 pounds each, and the remaining three people weigh approximately 100 pounds each, the masses in the two teams would be similar, which, in theory, would produce moderately similar forces.

With the aforementioned understanding, it would be quite possible that the game was balanced and other factors such as technique or experience were determining to win in the game, but not strength.
