Answer:
The ratio is [tex]\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2[/tex]
Explanation:
The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image
Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a
which makes the acceleration of each car a
From the question we are told that
Considering the second car
The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_{T2} = ma[/tex]
Considering the first car
The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma[/tex]
=> [tex]F_{T1} -ma = ma[/tex]
=> [tex]F_{T1} = 2 ma[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{F_{T1}}{ma} = 2[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2[/tex]
