At an airport, luggage is unloaded from a plane into the three cars of a luggage

Question

At an airport, luggage is unloaded from a plane into the three cars of a luggage carrier, as the drawing shows. The acceleration of the carrier is 0.13 m /s2, and friction is negligible. The coupling bars have negligible mass.
(a) By how much would the tension in each of the coupling bars A, B, and C change if 32 kg of luggage were removed from car 3 and placed in car 1? If the tension changes, specify whether it increases or decreases. (Specify a decrease in tension with a negative value and an increase in tension with a positive value. If there is no change, enter 0.)
?TA= N
?TB= N
?TC= N
