Hey I was hoping some would be able to help me or show me how to calculate the amount of force a train exerts on a spot on a track.
Simply I could calculate the force exerted on a spot of the track as the weight of the train in kgs times the gravity (9.8m/s^2) will give me netwons of force.
But... I want to know if trains are moving and also can I assume the whole weight of the train exerts on that point??
thanks for any help
