A car of mass $$\(1600 \mathrm{~kg}\)$$ is pulling a caravan of mass $$\(800 \mathrm{~kg}\)$$. The car and the caravan are connected by a light rigid tow-bar. The resistances to the motion of the car and caravan are $$\(400 \mathrm{~N}\)$$ and $$\(250 \mathrm{~N}\)$$ respectively. The car and caravan are travelling along a straight horizontal road. Given that the car and caravan have a constant speed of $$\(25 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)$$, find the power of the car's engine. ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................
