A train of wagons is first pulled on a level track from A to B and then up a 5% upgrade as shown in Fig. Level track 5 % Upgrade A B At some point C, the last wagon gets detached from the train, when it was travelling with a velocity of 36 km.p.h. If the detached wagon has a mass of 50 tonnes and the track resistance is 100 N per tonne, find the distance through which the wagon will travel before coming to rest.
