A car of mass 1250 kg travels from the bottom to the top of a straight hill which has length 400 m and is inclined to the horizontal at an angle of \(\alpha\), where \(\sin \alpha = 0.125\). The resistance to the car’s motion is 800 N. Find the work done by the car’s engine in each of the following cases.

  1. The car’s speed is constant.
  2. The car’s initial speed is 6 m s\(^{-1}\), the car’s driving force is 3 times greater at the top of the hill than it is at the bottom, and the car’s power output is 5 times greater at the top of the hill than it is at the bottom.
