A person is applying a horizontal pushing force on a train such that the whole train has a constant acceleration 0.20 m/s^2 to the right. The train is composed of two carts connected by a solid bar. The masses of cart A is 150 kg and cart B is 100kg, and the mass of the connecting bar is 60 kg. Assume that the friction forces are negligible. (1) Determine the force that the person is applying on cart A (2) Determine the force that the bar exerts on cart B (3) Determine the force that cart A exerts on the bar B
