Bonita Cart Bonita is pulling a cart to the right. She does not realize that the cart is tied to a wall on the left. The cart does not move. Bonita has a mass of 55 kg. The cart has a mass of 36 kg. Bonita is pulling the cart with a constant force of 272 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the force (in units of newtons) that the cart exerts on Bonita. Note that the magnitude of a force is a positive quantity.
