Question

A 1300-kg car is pushing an out-of-gear 2160-kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push horizontally against the ground with a force of 4420 N. The rolling friction of the car can be neglected, but the heavier truck has a rolling friction of 770 N, including the "friction" of turning the truck's drivetrain. What is the magnitude of the force the car applies to the truck?
