Given that a 1200 kg car pulls a boat and trailer find the following (take g =10 m/s2) : a). What total force resists the motion of the car, boat and trailer, if the car exerts an 1850 N force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.750 m/s2? The mass of the boat plus trailer is 975 kg. b) What is the force in the hitch between the car and trailer if 70% of the resisting forces are experienced by boat and trailer ?
