A $1500-\mathrm{kg}$ car coasts in neutral down a $2.0^{\circ}$ hill. The car attains a terminal speed of $20.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ (a) How much power must the engine deliver to drive the car on a level road at $20.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$ (b) If the maximum useful power that can be delivered by the engine is $40.0 \mathrm{kW},$ what is the steepest hill the car can climb at $20.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$
An automobile having a weight of 3500 Ib travels up a 7° slope at a constant speed of v = 40 ft/s. If friction and wind resistance are neglected, determine the power developed by the engine if the automobile has a mechanical efficiency of E = 0.65.
