4 A tractor, of mass 3500 kg , is used to tow a trailer, of mass 2400 kg , across a horizontal field. The trailer is connected to the tractor by a horizontal tow bar. As they move, a constant resistance force of 800 newtons acts on the trailer and a constant resistance force of \(R\) newtons acts on the tractor. A forward driving force of 2500 newtons acts on the tractor. The trailer and tractor accelerate at \(0.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
- \(\quad\) Find \(R\).
- Find the magnitude of the force that the tow bar exerts on the trailer.
- State the magnitude of the force that the tow bar exerts on the tractor.
