Module 3: Particle Mechanics [Use g = 10 ms–2] A car of total mass 1100 kg ascends a plane of inclination sin–1 (1 / 4.4) to the horizontal against a constant frictional force and wind resistance of 200 N. The car increases its speed uniformly from 54 kmh–1 to 72 kmh–1 in a distance of 175 m.

Calculate the maximum power developed in kW.
