what speed can the cyclist climb the same hill?




A bicyclist of mass 75 kg (including the bicycle) can coast down a 4.0? hill at a steady speed of 12 km/h. Pumping hard, the cyclist can descend the hill at a speed of 32 km/h.



Using the same power, at what speed can the cyclist climb the same hill? Assume the force of friction is proportional to the square of the speed v; that is, Ffr=bv2, where b is a constant.
