Answer:
N 138380
Explanation:
Force = ma where m is the mass in kg and a is acceleration
the locomotive is pulling 19 freight cars mass of each car is 37 000 kg
the train accelerating at 0.22 m/s²
the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars = the tension between the second and third cars pulling the third car to the 19 th car = 17 × 37000 kg × 0.22 m/s² = N 138380
