Help in physics mechanics
The pull exerted by an engine is 1/80 of the weight of the whole train and the maximum brake force which can be exerted is 1/30 of the weight of the train. Find the time in which the train travels from rest up a slope of 1 in 240 and 4800m along, if the brakes are applied when the engine is switched off.
