  1. A lorry of mass 2000 kg is moving down a straight road inclined at angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 25 }\). The resistance to motion is modelled as a constant force of magnitude 1600 N . The lorry is moving at a constant speed of \(14 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
Find, in kW , the rate at which the lorry's engine is working.
