Flip, an exhausted gymnast, hangs from a bar by both arms in an effort to catch his breath. If Flip weighs 650 N, what is the tension in each of Flip’s arms as he hangs in place?
a tension of 325 N. *Explanation --> Since Flip is pulling down on the bar with a force of 650 N, his arms must be holding him up by sharing an upward force of 650 N. If each of Flip’s arms shares the force equally, it equals 325 N.

Two figures who bare a striking resemblance to Mr. Worm and Mr. Hall are having a tug of war, the so-called Mr. Hall is pulling on the rope with 90 vectors of force, while the so-called Mr. Worm is pulling the rope at 150 vector of force. Who will win.
The So-Called Mr. Worm would win because he is pulling with 60 more vectors...
