Question

an 8000kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons each of 2000 kg if the engine exerts a force of 40000n and the track offers friction of 5000n then calculate the force of wagon 1 on wagon 2

Answer 1

hope it will help you my friend

Answer 2

Hello mate!!!


Here's ur answer



Given:-

The force of wagon 1 on wagon 2 = mass of four wagons x acceleration
⇒F=4×2000 kg×1.944ms−2⇒F=4×2000 kg×1.944ms-2
⇒F=8000 kg×1.944ms−2⇒F=8000 kg×1.944ms-2
⇒F=1552N⇒F=1552N


The force of wagon 1 on 2 = 1552 N
