Tug of war-pulling in opposite directions on a strong rope


In a contest of National Football League behemoths, teams from the Rams and the 49ers engage in a tug of war, pulling in opposite directions on a strong rope. The Rams exert a force of 9200 N and they are winning, making the center of the rope move steadily toward themselves. Is it possible to know the tension in the rope from the information stated? Is it larger or smaller than 9 200 N? How hard are the 49ers pulling on the rope? Would it change your answer if the 49ers were winning or if the contest were even? The stronger team wins by exerting a larger force-on what? Explain your answers.
