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

1600 N

B

2000 N

C

200 N

D

1500N

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`
