A 1200 -kg car is pushing an out-of-gear 2200 ndashkg truck


A 1200 -kg car is pushing an out-of-gear 2200 –kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push horizontally against the ground with a force of 4500N. The rolling friction of the car can be neglected, however the heavier truck has a rolling friction of 760N, including the "friction" of turning the truck's drive train. What is the magnitude of the force the car applies to the truck?

Part C

What is the magnitude F ConT of the force that the car exerts on the truck? Utilize the coordinate system shown in Part B, where upward is the positive y direction and to the right, the direction F? ConT points, is the positive x direction.

 

Express your answer in Newton’s to three important figures.
