Chapter 24, Problem 71P
You work for an automobile manufacturer developing a new plug-in hybrid car. The car’s mass is 1200 kg, and it uses a 360-V battery driving an electric motor that can handle a maximum current of 180 A. You’re to specify the greatest slope the car can climb, maintaining 60 km/h, without its gasoline engine coming on to assist.
