Question

A car with a mass of m = 980 kg climbs a slope at a constant speed of s = 11.8 m/s and encounters air resistance and friction that totals f = 570 N. The power of the engine is P = 135 kW, but the efficiency is e = 0.37. (In other words, the power delivered to the car is e = 0.37 times the power of the engine.)Write an expression for sin(φ), where φ is the maximum slope angle for which the car can maintain the given speed.Your answer should be in terms of the symbols given in the problem statement and g (the acceleration due to gravity).
