A high-speed train of mass 490,000 kg is moving along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 85 m s-1. The engines are supplying 4080 kW of power.

(i) Show that the resistance force is 48,000 N.

(ii) The train comes to a hill inclined at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = \frac{1}{200}\). Given that the resistance force is unchanged, find the power required for the train to keep moving at the same constant speed of 85 m s-1.
