A train of mass M moving with a uniform velocity on a horizontal
plane. The last bogie of the train suddenly got detached .The driver
could detect the detachment after he travel led through a distance l,
where he stopped the engine. If resistance against motion of the train
is directly proportional to the mass, show that, both the detached
bogie and the rest of the train come to rest, the distance between
them is Ml/(M-m),where m is the mass of the detached bogie. Assume
that the engine maintains a constant pull.
your early ans will be highly appreciated.
