A game of tug of war takes place, and the team on the right side pulls with 7.50 x 10^3 N of force, while the team on the left pulls with 6.90 x 10^3 N. The team on the right moves the rope a distance of 2.00 m. There are 8 team members on each team. How much work did each individual team member do?

do you know that the work on each side is equal?

Yes
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
so , \[\huge work~done=force \times displacement\]
where, \[\huge F=7.50 \times 10^3 N\] and
\[\huge S=2m\]
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
so what is the work done by right team???

Oh & the left side is equal to the right! So my answer is 1.5*10^4. Wow I feel really silly right now.. But thank you!
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
welcome:)
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
and then divide this by 8 and you get your answer

Oh right!! :)
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
because you need to find the work by each.
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
i think you can solve it. @theequestrian
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be 1875J
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
hey!!! it want to calculate...but i trust on you..... i think you are right
