A 8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:
(a) the net accelerrating force,
(b) the acceleration of the train, and
( c ) the force of wagon 1 on wagon 2.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

F = 40000 N f = 5000 N
m = 8000 wagon weigh ` = 5 xx 2000 = 10000`
