6. A slope is inclined at an angle of \(5 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. A car, of mass 1500 kg , has an engine that is working at a constant rate of \(P \mathrm {~W}\). The resistance to motion of the car is constant at 4500 N . When the car is moving up the slope, its acceleration is \(a \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) at the instant when its speed is \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). When the car is moving down the slope, its deceleration is \(a \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) at the instant when its speed is \(20 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
Determine the value of \(P\) and the value of \(a\).
