Compute each part of given question:

Question: A train engine of mass 51 00 kg is connected by a rope to a boxcar of mass 15 00 kg. The boxcar is connected by a second rope to a caboose of mass 23 00 kg. The whole train is sitting on a flat railroad track. The train engineer starts the train engine moving so that the tension on the first rope is 44 00 N.

Part A: What is the tension on the second rope?

Part B: How fast is the whole train accelerating?

Hello Experts please provide me the detailed computation for above question.
