A cyclist is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The total mass of the cyclist and his bicycle is 80 kg. His power output is a constant 240 W. His acceleration when he is travelling at 6 m/s is 0.3 m/s2.

  1. Show that the resistance to the cyclist’s motion is 16 N.
  2. Find the steady speed that the cyclist can maintain if his power output and the resistance force are both unchanged.
  3. The cyclist later ascends a straight hill inclined at 3° to the horizontal. His power output and the resistance force are still both unchanged. Find his acceleration when he is travelling at 4 m/s.
