A freight train consists of 4 engines at the front, followed by30 rail cars. Both the engines and rail cars have the same mass of340,077 kilograms each. Each engine exerts the same force backwardon the track to push the train forward. The total force of frictionon the entire train is 762,033 Newtons and is evenly distributedamong all of the cars and engines. Even with this friction present,the train engines are able to accelerate the train at 0.037meters/second2. What is the magnitude of the force in Newtons inthe coupling between the engine and the first rail car?
A freight train consists of 4 engines at the front, followed by28 rail cars. Both the engines and rail cars have the same mass of467,977 kilograms each. Each engine exerts the same force backwardon the track to push the train forward. The total force of frictionon the entire train is 543,762 N and is evenly distributed amongall of the cars and engines. Even with this friction present, thetrain engines are able to accelerate the train at 0.031meters/second2. What is the magnitude of the force in Newtons thateach engine would need to exert on the train track?
ANSWER BOTH PLS
