a 8000kg tow truck pulls a 3000kg car horizontally into a garage. if the motor of the tow truck exerts a forward thrust on the truck of 800N, what is the tension in the cable connecting the truck to the car? (neglect any forces of friction)

Respuesta :

Equation 1 :
m1 :   m1a =T 
Equation 2:m2 : m2a= F - T 

Adding 1 and 2a=0.073

Placing in  equation 1

we get T = 218.18N
