Given:
Mass of truck, m1 = 3200 kg
Mass of trailer, m2 = 2400 kg
acceleration = 0.45 m/s²
Let's determine the following:
(a) The tension force between the truck and the trailer.
To find the tension between the truck and the trailer, apply the formula:
Where:
Fnet is the tension between the truck and the trailer
a is the acceleration = 0.45 m/s²
m1 is the mass if the truck = 3200 kg
m2 is the mass of trailer = 2400 kg
Hence, we have:
Therefore, the tension between the truck and the trailer is 2520N
(b) The force with which the truck is pulling.
The tension between the truck and the trailer is equivalent to the force on the trailer.
thus, we have:
Therefore, the force with which the truck is pulling is 1080N.
ANSWER:
(a) 2520N
(b) 1080 N
