Applied geometry… with carts! Whoever has to deal with this problem is going to wish he took a sick day.

Holy crap! Assuming that the tension is such to keep these carts firmly in place, I’m curious how hard it would be to get them apart?

Just imagine it–if you tried to pull two apart, the two forces you put on both carts would transfer around the circle and collide on the other side, preventing you from being able to separate the two completely. But you are right in the sense that IF you somehow managed to remove one of the carts from the circle the rest of th job would be simple
