Answer:
option (d) 7.1 kN
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the car, m = 1600 kg
Acceleration of the car, a = 1.5 m/s²
Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.3
let the tension be 'T'
Now,
ma = T - f .................(1)
where f is the frictional force
also,
f = 0.3 × mg
where g is the acceleration due to the gravity
thus,
f = 0.3 × 1600 × 9.81 =
therefore,
equation 1 becomes
1600 × 1.5 = T - 4708.8
or
T = 2400 + 4708.8
or
T = 7108.8 N
or
T = 7.108 kN
Hence,
The correct answer is option (d) 7.1 kN
