A trailer of mass 250 kg is towed by a car of mass 1000 kg. The car and the trailer are
travelling down a straight road inclined at an angle to the horizontal, where sin =
1
20
The resistance to motion of the car is modelled as a single force of magnitude 300 N acting
parallel to the road. The resistance to motion of the trailer is modelled as a single force
of magnitude 100 N acting parallel to the road. The towbar joining the car to the trailer
is modelled as a light rod which is parallel to the direction of motion. At a given instant
the car and the trailer are moving down the road with speed 25 m s1 and acceleration
0.2 m s2.
(a) Find the power being developed by the cars engine at this instant.
(6)
(b) Find the tension in the towbar at this instant.

A uniform rod AB of weight W is freely hinged at end A to a vertical wall. The rod is
supported in equilibrium at an angle of 60 to the wall by a light rigid strut CD. The strut
is freely hinged to the rod at the point D and to the wall at the point C, which is vertically
below A, as shown in Figure 1. The rod and the strut lie in the same vertical plane, which
is perpendicular to the wall. The length of the rod is 4a and AC = AD = 2.5a.
