Finding the Start-up Torque for a Shunt-wound Motor

I am having difficulty determining the start up torque for the motor.

If you could also explain how to do the other parts that would be great. Thanks

SHUNT MOTOR

(a) A shunt-wound motor set was designed to run from a 250 V d.c.
supply. It had an effective armature resistance of 3 m( and when run at
3000 rev/min it drew 10 kA.

Find:

(i) the maximum permissible supply voltage at start-up if the motor set
is not to draw more than 20kA when started from rest

(ii) the maximum start-up torque available

(b) Ignoring friction, and assuming that the motor set is geared such
that the locomotive would be travelling at 50 m s-1 when the motor
reaches 3000 rev/min, what would be the greatest total vehicle mass
(including locomotive, wagons, etc.) that this locomotive could pull
from rest on a 1 in 10 incline?
