4 An athlete of mass 84 kg is running along a straight road.

(a) Initially the road is horizontal and he runs at a constant speed of 3 m s−1 . The athlete produces a
constant power of 60 W.

Find the resistive force which acts on the athlete. [1]

........................................................................................................................................................

........................................................................................................................................................

(b) The athlete then runs up a 150 m section of the road which is inclined at 0.8Å to the horizontal.
The speed of the athlete at the start of this section of road is 3 m s−1 and he now produces a
constant driving force of 24 N. The total resistive force which acts on the athlete along this
section of road has constant magnitude 13 N.

Use an energy method to find the speed of the athlete at the end of the 150 m section of road. [6]

30Å

Q 0.25 kg

Two particles P and Q, of masses 2 kg and 0.25 kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible
string that passes over a fixed smooth pulley. Particle P is on an inclined plane at an angle of 30Å to
the horizontal. Particle Q hangs below the pulley. Three points A, B and C lie on a line of greatest
slope of the plane with AB = 0.8 m and BC = 1.2 m (see diagram).

Particle P is released from rest at A with the string taut and slides down the plane. During the motion
of P from A to C, Q does not reach the pulley. The part of the plane from A to B is rough, with
coefficient of friction 0.3 between the plane and P. The part of the plane from B to C is smooth.
