A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of it as a cord) between the locomotive and the first car (FT1) to that between the first car and the second car (FT2), for any nonzero acceleration of the train

A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of it as a cord) between the locomotive and the first car (FT1) to that between the first car and the second car (FT2), for any nonzero acceleration of the train

Answer:The ratio isExplanation:The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded imageHere we are assume the acceleration of the train is awhich makes the acceleration of each car aFrom the question we are told thatConsidering the second carThe force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented asConsidering the first carThe force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented as=>=>=>=>...
