4. A pick-up truck that has a mass of 2.5 metric tons pulls a trailer with a mass of 1 metric ton. The engine of the truck has a pulling capacity of 5 kN. The horizontal drawbar used to pull the trailer has a capacity of 600 N only, if exceeded, will disengage. If the full power of the engine is used, will the horizontal draw bar disengage or not? Specify your answer if YES or NO. Explain why based on your computation.
