A locomotive is pulling 19 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same amount of weight. The mass of each freight car (with its load) is 37,000 kg. If the train is accelerating at .22 m/s^2 on a level track, what is the tension in the coupling between the third and fourth cars?
(The car nearest the locomotive is counted as the first car, and friction is negligible.)

6. A locomotive is pulling two freight cars with an acceleration of 0.520 m/s2. The mass of the first car is 51500 kg , while that of the second car is 18400 kg . Find the tension (T) in the coupling mechanisn between the engine and the first car, and the tension (T) in the coupling mechanisn between the first car and the second car.
A 36500 lb engine is pulling two freight
cars up a 2.4 % incline. The weight of the first freight car is
36500 lbs, and the weight of the second freight car is 10000 lbs.
The train is accelerating at 0.43 ft/s2 as it goes up the hill.

An InterCity Express locomotive pulls fourteen cars, each with a mass of 6.00×104 kg. What is the tension in the coupling between the third and fourth cars when the acceleration of the train is 0.31 m/s2?
A train consists of a 4300-kg locomotive pulling two loaded boxcars. The first boxcar has a mass of 12,700 kg and the second 16,300 kg. Presume that the boxcar wheels roll without friction and ignore aerodynamics. The acceleration of the train is 0.559 m/s2 (a) With what force, in Newtons, do the boxcars pull on each other? (b) With what force (N) do the locomotive and first boxcar pull on each other? (c) With what force (N) must the tracks...
A toy freight train consists of an engine and three identical cars. The train is moving to the right at constant speed along a straight, level track. Three spring scales are used to connect the cars as follows: spring scale A is located between the engine and the first car; scale B is between the first and second cars; scale C is between the second and third cars. (a) If air resistance and friction are negligible, what are the relative...
A freight train consists of 4 engines at the front, followed by 30 rail cars. Both the engines and rail cars have the same mass of 722655 kilograms each. Each engine exerts the same force backward on the track to push the train forward. The total force of friction on the entire train is 698119 Newtons and is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines. Even with this friction present, the train engines are able to accelerate the...
A freight train consists of two kg 1000.8 4 − × engines and 45 cars with average masses of kg 1050.5 4 × . (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 2 –2 m/s 10.005 × if the force of friction is N 1050.7 5× , assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains...

The price to earnings ratio (P/E) is an important tool in financial work. A random sample of 14 large U.S. banks (J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, and others) gave the following P/E ratios.† 24 16 22 14 12 13 17 22 15 19 23 13 11 18 The sample mean is x ≈ 17.1. Generally speaking, a low P/E ratio indicates a "value" or bargain stock. Suppose a recent copy of a magazine indicated that the P/E ratio of...
