To move a heavy crate across a floor, one end of a rope is tied to it and the other end is tied to a wall 30 ft away. When a force of 100 lb is applied to the midpoint of the rope, the rope stretches so that the midpoint moves to the side by 2 ft. What is the force on the crate? Select the correct response: 400 lb 500 lb 410 lb 379 lb
How do I know which forces are positive and which are negative?
How am I supposed to know which forces are under compression or tension?
