Answer:

The Team B is winning. The force is unbalanced.

Explanation:

Step 1: First we must fix a positive sense to the forces exerted. We take as positive the force of 4900 N.

Step 2: Now we must add forces to determine the value of the resulting force (\(F_{r}\)).

\(F_{r}\) = 4900 N - 4000 N = 900 N

Since \(F_{r}\) is positive, team B will win the competition.

The resulting force is unbalanced because if it is balanced it should give 0.

Have a nice day!
