A toy train has magnetic couplers whose maximum attractive force is T = 8 N between adjacent cars. What is the maximum force P with which a child can pull the locomotive and not break the train apart at coupler #1? The mass of the locomotive is 0.07 kilograms. Neglect the mass and friction associated with all wheels. Please show your work clearly and draw the diagram as well.
