80 railway wagons all of same mass 5 × 103 kg are pulled by an engine with a force of 4× 105 N. The tension in the coupling between 30th and 31st wagon from the engine is:

A

25 × 104 N

B

20 × 104 N

C

32 × 104 N

D

40 × 104 N

Answer

25 × 104 N

Explanation

Solution

Let mass of a wagon = m

T= 50m80m×F\frac{50m}{80m} \times F = 5080F=5080(4×105)\frac{50}{80}F = \frac{50}{80}(4 \times 10^{5}) =25 × 104N
