The force acting on the rope by both the team will be equal. Both the forces that are acting on the rope by the two team is equal and in opposite direction in accordance with Newton’s third law of motion. Therefore, they are cancelling each other despite that there is a winning team. There is a horizontal force which is exerted by each member of the team as they push to the ground. The team that pushes harder against the ground will have greater horizontal force and they will have greater net force. Thus, the team which pushes harder against the ground will win the tug of war.

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
