attached to the van by a rigid towbar which is parallel to the direction of motion of the
van and the trailer, as shown in Figure 4.
The resistance to the motion of the van from non‑gravitational forces is modelled as a
constant force of magnitude 250 N.
The resistance to the motion of the trailer from non‑gravitational forces is modelled as a
constant force of magnitude 150 N.
The towbar is modelled as a light rod.
