Question

A 1,099 kilogram truck pulling a 694 kilogram trailer exerts a 2,327 Newton force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.4 meters/second 2. There is clearly some resistance force, such as friction and air resistance. Assume that 79 % of this resistance force is exerted on the trailer. What is the horizontal force in the hitch between the truck and the trailer measured in Newtons?
