Calculate power lossess against road gradients

[Carvinos]

i want to calcculate the power lossess of a 60 cc single cylinder water cooled engine against the 5% road gradients.can anyone help?

Welcome to the PF.

What is the context of your question? What vehicle is this small engine in? What speed is the vehicle moving? Is this just a paper calculation, a simulation, or do you intend to build it for a school project?

To calculate the power required to drive up a hill at a certain speed, calculate the vehicle's vertical speed (speed*grade), and then multiply by the vehicle's mass and G. The engine's dispplacement and cooling are not relevant in this problem.

V_{h}=V_{tot}*Grade

P_{req}=M*g*V_{h}

thnx for ur response.this is basically a school project and we have to build a three wheeler car, 2 wheels at the front and one at the rear and it is to be driven at 30kmph.thnx a lot once again.
