Problem 1: The van shown in the photo has a mass of 2500 kg and the trailer has a mass of 800 kg. The forward frictional force developed at the wheels of the van is FA = 600 N. The backward frictional force at the wheels of the trailer F-50 N. Determine the acceleration of the van and trailer and also the horizontal force acting on the coupling between the van and trailer? Neglect the size of the van and trailer and draw all forces in the free body diagram for the needed motion equations, as well as the needed motion equations.
