A man cycles up a hill whose slope is 1 ...

A man cycles up a hill whose slope is 1 in 20 with a velocity of `6.4 km h^(-1)` along the hill. The weight of the man and the cycle is 98kg. What work per minute is the man doing ? What is his horse power ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the work done per minute by the man cycling up the hill and then convert that work into horsepower. ### Step 1: Understand the slope of the hill The slope of the hill is given as 1 in 20. This means for every 20 units of horizontal distance, there is a vertical rise of 1 unit. ### Step 2: Calculate the angle of the slope Using the slope, we can find the angle (θ) of the incline: \[ ...
