A train of mass 220 tonnes starts from rest up a grade of 1 in 90 incline. It reaches a speed of 72 km/hr in a distance of 900 m (up the incline). The acceleration is uniform and the tractive resistance is 0,75 % of the weight of the train. Use Newton’s second law to calculate the tractive effort required.
During your calculations clearly show:
a=?
TE=?
