A 20-Mg train is traveling at a speed of 50 m/s. But the driver noticed that the bridge 300-m ahead is missing. At once, he pulls the break, thus applying a frictional resistance of Ff = 1000 N. At the same time Super Botting pushes back the train with a force of Fs = [800d+100] N, where d is the distance that the train travels before stopping. Determine the stopping distance d, and mention whether or not Super Botting would be able to save the train. ps. Don't copy the other answer. He/she/they didn't not consider the angle 10 degree.
