Question
A light train made up of two cars is traveling at a speed of (90 + a) km/h where a =7 when the brakes are applied to both cars. Knowing that car A has a mass of 25000 kg and car B has a mass of 20000 kg, and that the braking force is 30 kN on each car, as shown in Figure Q1 (a). Determine the force in the coupling between the cars while the train is slowing down.
