$A$ $8000 \,kg$ engine pulls a train of $5$ wagons,each of $2000 \,kg$,along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of $40000 \,N$ and the track offers a friction force of $5000 \,N$,then calculate the acceleration (in $m/s^2$) of the train.

  • A
    $1.454$
  • B
    $2.645$
  • C
    $0.965$
  • D
    $1.944$
