Acting
Two locomotives are used in a train set. One locomotive pulls the train and the other pushes it. The pulling locomotive exerts a force of 500 kN on the train, and the pushing locomotive exerts a force of 400 kN.
a) Draw a diagram of the described situation and graphically show the effect of the locomotive forces on the train.
(Choose a scale to represent the forces.)
b) What is the resultant of the acting forces?
