  1. A lorry of mass 1500 kg moves along a straight horizontal road. The resistance to the motion of the lorry has magnitude 750 N and the lorry's engine is working at a rate of 36 kW .
    1. Find the acceleration of the lorry when its speed is \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
    The lorry comes to a hill inclined at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 10 }\). The magnitude of the resistance to motion from non-gravitational forces remains 750 N . The lorry moves up the hill at a constant speed of \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the rate at which the lorry's engine is now working.
