Question

Hello, If you could show working outs for this question as i havent a clue at this point, Thank you

The motorcycle has a kerb mass of 239 kg and test rider's mass was recorded as 76.35 kg. The wheels on the
motorcycle each have a mass of 3.8 kg, with a rim diameter of 432 mm and tyre outside diameter of 635 mm, with
a Radius of Gyration (k) of 0.25 m.
Part A
In the first test the rider accelerates from 48 km/h to 80 km/h, over a distance of 190 m whilst climbing a hill of
slope 1 in 6. The average resistance to motion, including drag and friction is 245 N and that the mass of the rider
and motorbike were 315.35 kg
Carrying out the necessary calculations to:
a. Determine the total work done as the motorcycle ascends the incline.
b. The amount of power developed during the climb.
