Frictional losses of energy


A bicycle and its rider together has a mass of 86 kg. What power output of the rider is required to maintain a constant speed of 3.6 m/s (about 8.1 mph) up a 5.0% grade (a road that rises 5.0 m for every 100 m along the pavement)? Assume that frictional losses of energy are negligible.
