Two persons manage to push a motorcar of mass`1200kg` at a uniform velocity along a level road. The same motorcar can be pushed by three persons to produce an acceleration of `0.2m//s^(2)`. With what force does each person push the motorcar? (Assume that all persons push the motorcar with the same muscular effort).

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the force exerted by each person when pushing the motorcar. We will use Newton's second law of motion and the information given about the uniform velocity and acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: - Two persons push a motorcar of mass \(1200 \, \text{kg}\) at a uniform velocity. - When three persons push the same car, it accelerates at \(0.2 \, \text{m/s}^2\). ...
