A 35 tonne locomotive develops a tractive effort of 60 kN when starting to pull a train of coaches of total mass 140 tonnes down an incline of 1 in 75. The tractive resistance is 80 N/tonne for the locomotive and 50 N/tonne for the train. Determine: (i) the acceleration of the leading coach; (ii) the draw-bar pull on the leading coach. (10 marks)
