2 The total mass of a cyclist and her bicycle is 75 kg. The cyclist ascends a straight hill of length 0.7 km inclined at 1.5Å to the horizontal. Her speed at the bottom of the hill is 10 m s−1 and at the top it is 5 m s−1. There is a resistance to motion, and the work done against this resistance as the cyclist ascends the hill is 2000 J. The cyclist exerts a constant force of magnitude F N in the direction of motion. Find F.
