what’s the Ringelmann affect

Answer 14

evidence was based on studies of tug of war, he found that in a team of 8, the aggregate weight pull was less than when each member pulled individually

The losses occur because the operational effectiveness of a group/ team cannot be sustained for the duration of the whole match.
