Abstract

Tug of war is a folk game that uses a mining tool (rope). How to play a team with 2 teams facing each other. Each team consists of 3 or more people, who face each other holding the mine to be pulled. This tug-of-war competition activity is to train body strength, teamwork and cohesiveness. Once the second mark on the rope from the center red mark crosses the center line, the team that pulls the rope to their area wins the game. In this tug of war game there are many styles, including: Frictional Force, Tensile Force, Gravitational Force, and Muscular Force. This paper aims to study the physical forces of tug of war with a mathematical model based on the physical phenomena that exist in the game of tug of war. This model is created by considering tug of war as two objects connected by a rope. The analysis is done by considering the forces acting in the model. The results show that if after being pulled with a force F, the object moves to the right with an acceleration of a, then the acceleration of the object is based on the equation of motion according to Newton's law.
