Team 4 actually felt discouraged when they saw their opponents. It is because, obviously, Team 5 is composed of heavier members. However, one of the members of Team 4, Player 001, suggested an ultimate team strategy that will "surely" make them win even if the other team appears to be stronger: "First off, having a good leader is very important. The person is at the front and keeps an eye on how the other team is performing. And the rest of the team focuses on the back of their leader's head and follows their lead. If the leader seems weak or looks like their spirit is beginning to falter, then the game is already over. (a) And then at the end of the rope, you'll need to have someone strong and dependable like the anchor of a ship. After that, it's all about how you arrange the rest of your team. (b) If one player is on the right side of the rope, then the next one should be on the left, all the way down the rope. Both of your feet should be facing straight forward, and then, (c) hold the rope in your armpits. That way, everyone can put in all of their strength. Finally, and this is absolutely the most important thing. Once the game begins, for the first ten seconds... you have to hold your ground. (d) You should lean back, practically lying down. Push your lower abdomen up to the sky, as hard as you can. And throw your head back to the point where you can almost see the groin of the person behind you. If you do that, the other team won't be able to pull us to their side. Just hold like this for ten seconds. Then the opposing team will start to get frustrated. Because they believed that they were much stronger. If you can hold out for that long, you will be able to catch a moment in your opponents' hold, and their rhythm breaks." Player 001 2a. Do you think Team 4 will win if they perform the suggested strategy? Can you provide scientific, Physics-related (about forces and equilibrium) explanations to AT LEAST TWO (2) strategies/ techniques mentioned by Player 001 (choose among techniques a, b, c, and d)? (Answer in not more than 6 sentences)
