Suppose an empty flatbed railroad car sits on a track as shown below, with a person pulling on a rope with a force of 320 Newtons in a direction of # = 26%. railroad car Since the railroad car can't move in the direction that the person is pulling, not all of the force he is exerting works to move the car down the track. a. How much force is the person exerting toward the right (the force that would go towards trying to move the car)? Newtons Preview b. The first person wasn't able to move the railroad car. Suppose a second rope is attached as shown below, and someone pulls on the rope in the direction S = 18" south of east. railroad car If it takes 625 N to get the railroad car moving (even if only slightly), how much force must the second person exert in the given direction to get the railroad car to move?
