1 Brent is riding his bicycle along a straight horizontal road.
While riding along this road Brent can attain a maximum speed of \(6.25 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and the wind resistance acting on Brent and his bicycle is constant and equal to 19.2 N . Brent and his bicycle have a combined mass of 72 kg .
Brent later begins to ride up a hill which is inclined at an angle of \(3 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal.
Given that the wind resistance and the maximum power developed by the bicycle is unchanged, determine Brent's maximum speed up the hill.
