Please could you help me find some equations that can be used to calculate the power needed to accelerate up an inclined plane and also the power needed to travel up an inclined plane at a given speed?
Ignoring rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, mechanical loss and the force needed to spin wheels, I need to know the force required for a bike to travel up the inclined plane.
Thus far I only have the formula below:
Force = weight X the sin of the angle of the inclined plane
That formula gives the force needed to move an object up the inclined plane, but I do not know how to incorporate the speed of the object or the acceleration of the object into it.
