How many horizontal forces are exerted on the horse—cart system in Figure 7.14? What is the horizontal net force on the horse—cart system?
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
The number of horizontal forces exerted on the horse-cart system.
The horizontal net force on the horse-cart system.
Answer to Problem 17A
Total number of horizontal forces are 2.
The net force is
Explanation of Solution
The horizontal forces on the horse-cart system:
The reaction force of the cart on the horse,
The force of friction
So, to accelerate the entire horse-cart system, the net force will be:
Conclusion:
Thus, the horizontal net force on the horse-cart system is
