A car of mass 1500kg is pulling a trailer of mass 750 kg up a straight hill of length 800 m inclined at an angle of arcsin(0.08) to the horizontal. The resistances to the motion of the car and trailer ure 400 N and 200 N respectively. The car and trailer are connected by a light rigid tow-bar. The car and trailer have speed 30m * s ^ - 1 at the bottom of the hill and 20m * s ^ - 1 at the top of the hill, After reaching the top of the hill the system consisting of the car and trailer travels along a straight level road. The driving force of the car's engine is 2400 N Find the acceleration of the system and the tension in 8. and the resistances to motion are unchanged. the tow-bar.
