A railway engine of mass 50 tons is pulling a wagon of mass 40 tons with a force of `4500N`. The resistance force acting is `1N` per ton The tension in the coupling between the engine and the wagon is .

A

`1600N`

B

`2000N`

C

`200N`

D

`1500 N`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`F =ma, a =(F_("net"))/(m_(1)+m_(2))`
For engine `F -f -T =m_(1)a` .
