Two people pull a rope in opposite directions. One person exerts a force of 80 Newtons toward the north, and the other exerts a force of 60 Newtons toward the south. What is the resultant force on the rope?

Resultant Force = Force in the North direction - Force in the South direction Resultant Force = 80 N - 60 N Resultant Force = 20 N So, the resultant force on the rope is 20 Newtons, directed toward the north.
