In the design of couplers-the hooklike linking mechanisms-between the cars of a train, extreme situations are often considered to assess limiting requirements. Suppose a locomotive of mass 30,000 kg pulls 80 cars each of mass 30,000 kg. At an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2, how much load is transferred by the coupler between the locomotive and the first car; between the 79th and 80th cars?

Ex. 1. A solid sphere moves through quiescent frictionless liquid whose boundaries are at a distance from it great compared with its radius. Prove that at each instant the motion in the liquid depends only on the position and velocity of the sphere at that instant. Prove that the liquid streams past the sides of the sphere with half the velocity of the sphere.
High-speed elevators function under two limitations: (1) the maximum magnitude of vertical acceleration that a typical human body can experience without discomfort is about 1.2 m/s², and (2) the typical maximum speed attainable is about 8.8 m/s. You board an elevator on a skyscraper's ground floor and are transported 190 m above the ground level in three steps: acceleration of magnitude 1.2 m/s² from rest to 8.8 m/s, followed by constant upward velocity of 8.8 m/s. then deceleration of magnitude 1.2 m/s² from 8.8 m/s to rest.
