Question:
A bicyclist is coasting down a hill with a slope of 4° into a headwind (measured with respect to the ground) of 7 m/s. The mass of the cyclist and bicycle is 80 kg, and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.02. The drag coefficient is 0.5, and the projected area is 0.5 m2. The air density is 1.2 kg/m3. Find the speed of the bicycle in meters per second.
