Question: Problem 3 A person is applying a horizontal pushing force on a train such that the whole train has a constant acceleration 0 . 2

Problem 3
A person is applying a horizontal pushing force on a train such that the whole train has a constant acceleration 0.20ms???2 to the right. The train is composed of two carts connected by a solid bar. The masses of cart A is 150kg and cart B is 100kg, and the mass of the connecting bar is 60kg. 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
