No, Oh is it f=Fw+mgSin(theta)

Good. So, find an expression for the power due to Fw going up and also for coming down. (Don't worry about numbers yet.)
 
Up the hill: P=Fw(v) = (f+mgSinθ)v
Down the hill: P=Fw(v) = (f-mgSinθ)v
 
Right. How do you now bring in the 44 hp?
 
Set the equations equal to each other and add 44 to the "up hill" side
 
Do you want to add it to the "up hill" side or the "down hill" side? Also, is hp the SI unit for power?
 
o right becasue going uphill is 44 more hp you would add it to the downhill side. and no 1hp=745watt
 
Right. (1 hp = 746 W the last I checked, but who's counting?) [OK, just checked, it's 745.699872 W for 1 "mechanical hp" and exactly 746 W for "electrical hp". Trivia for the day.]

So just checking my equation:

v(f+mgSinθ)=v(f-mgSinθ) + 32810.8w

Now I can just plug and chug.
 
I just put my nunmbers in my calculator wrong. No big deal thanks again.
