Question

The baggage truck A has a mass of 1000 kg and is used to pull each of the 290-kg cars. The tractive force F on the truck is F = 460 N . The car wheels are free to roll. Neglect the mass of the wheels. v = 0.582 m/s

Determine the tension in the coupling at B.

Determine the tension in the coupling at C.

Explanation / Answer

The net mass of the truck and the wagons = 1000+ 2*290 = 1580 kg

Net acceleration of the system = F/m = 460/1580 = 0.2911 m2/s

The system of the wagons is pulled by a sole tension in Coupling B (taking the two wagons as same system) which is TB

This results in the acceleration a

So, TB = mwagons * a = 0.2911* 580 = 168.86 N
