The total mass of a cyclist and his cycle is 80 kg. The resistance to motion is zero.

  1. The cyclist moves along a horizontal straight road working at a constant rate of \(P\) W. Find the value of \(P\) given that the cyclist’s speed is 5 m s\(^{-1}\) when his acceleration is 1.2 m s\(^{-2}\).
  2. The cyclist moves up a straight hill inclined at an angle \(\alpha\), where \(\sin \alpha = 0.035\). Find the acceleration of the cyclist at an instant when he is working at a rate of 450 W and has speed 3.6 m s\(^{-1}\).
