8.

The students in Mrs. Hoffman’s class played tug-of-war. The girls pulled in one direction with a force of

150 N. The boys pulled in the opposite direction with a force of 100 N. Who won the game and why did they win?

a)

The boys won because they applied a stronger force to the rope.

b)

The boys and the girls tied because they applied equal forces to the rope.

c)

The girls won because they applied a stronger force to the rope.

d)

Too much force was applied, the rope broke.
