Solve the all parts of following problem given below:
Problem: A truck is towing a 1200-kg car on a horizontal road with a chain. The chain makes a 15o angle above the horizontal as it pulls on the car. (Neglect any frictional effects in this problem.) The car is being accelerated at 0.57 m/s2 by the chain.
Part A: What is the tension in the chain? (Hint: Draw a good FBD and apply Newton's 2nd law to the x-direction. There should be three forces shown on your FBD!)
Part B: What is the car's apparent weight as it is being towed with the acceleration given above?
I need help to find the car's apparent weight as it is being towed with the acceleration given above.
