Question:

Dean reads in his physics book that when two people pull on the end of a rope in a tug-of-war, the forces exerted by each on the other are equal and opposite, according to Newton's third law. Misunderstanding the law tragically, Dean runs out to challenge Hugo the Large, convinced that the laws of physics guarantee a tie. Hugo lumbers over, picks up the rope, pulls Dean off his feet, and then drags him through a puddle, across the road, and up the steps of the physics building. Use a force diagram to show Dean that, in spite of Newton's third law; it is possible for one side to win a tug-of-war.
