If 60 kg Roberto can ride his 8 kg bicycle up a 10% incline at 3 m/s, how fast could he ride on level ground?
Cd=0.9
A=0.3m^2
p=1.2
I'm not sure how to factor in the incline to get the difference between level ground and incline. I know a 10% incline is equal to 5.7 degrees, but I'm not sure where to go from there.
I think that I just need to find the Fdrag using -0.5 A Cd p V^2 but involve cosine of 5.7. Then just do it without cosine?
