A tractor is pulling two logs in tandem. The logs are fastened together by a chain. Each log weighs 1800.0 N, and the logs are moving with a constant velocity. The tractor exerts a force of 1440 N on the front log, and this same log is acted on by a force of friction of 941 N.

sooobored · Answer

ok, constant velocity means that the net force on the object is equal to zero

also, what is the question?

1440-941?

s-mlipinsky · Answer

Wait no. The log doesn't move because it has too muvh mass and the tractor can't pull it

s-mlipinsky · Answer

If that's not correct try 1440-941-360 if you typed the logs' mass wrong
