Problem

A flatcar of mass mo starts moving to the right due to a constant horizontal force F (Fig: 1.46). Sand spills on the flatcar from a stationary hopper. The velocity of loading is constant and equal to p, kg/s. Find the time dependence of the velocity and the acceleration of the flatcar in the process of loading. The friction is negligibly small.
