Question:

A small experimental vehicle has a total mass m of 500 kg including wheels and driver. Each of the four wheels has a mass of 40 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 400 mm. Total frictional resistance R to motion is 400 N and is measured by towing the vehicle at a constant speed on a level road with engine disengaged. Determine the power output of the engine for a speed of 72 km/h up the 10-percent grade 

(a) With zero acceleration
