Question:

Two players R and S are participating in an arm-wrestling match. At the instant, when the arms tilt to the front direction (out of the page towards you), are the forces exerted by the players balanced? If not, which player exerted the larger force? [Pg. No. 97]

Answer: Verified

No, the forces exerted by the players are not balanced, because the arms tilt towards the front direction (out of the page). This shows that there is a net force acting in that direction. Therefore, player S exerts the larger force.
