Question

2. An elephant is pushing, with 75 000 N of force, on two jeeps that are stuck in the mud. The elephant pushes on the first jeep (which is 2000 kg (2 SD)) and it, in turn, pushes on the second jeep (which is 1500 kg). The co-efficient of friction between the jeeps and the mud is 1.9.
a)Determine the acceleration of the jeeps.
b)Determine the force that the heavier jeep exerts on the lighter jeep.
