2 A train of mass 240000 kg travels up a slope inclined at an angle of \(4 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. There is a constant resistance of magnitude 18000 N acting on the train. At an instant when the speed of the train is \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) its deceleration is \(0.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). Find the power of the engine of the train.
