Problem

A 0.10 kg0.10\,\text{kg} cart on a frictionless track is subjected to a horizontal force that varies with time as follows: • 00 to 2 ms2\,\text{ms}: force rises uniformly from 00 to F0F_0. • 22 to 4 ms4\,\text{ms}: force falls uniformly from F0F_0 back to 00. • 44 to 6 ms6\,\text{ms}: force remains constant at −50 N-50\,\text{N}. After t=6 mst = 6\,\text{ms} the cart is observed to have the same speed and direction as it had at t=0t = 0. a. Determine the value of the peak force F0F_0. (Give your answer to the nearest newton.)
