Explanation:
As we know that the slope of the inclination is 4%
so we can say that
tan\theta = 0.04tanθ=0.04
since it is very small so here we can take approximation as
tan\theta = sin\theta = 0.0
4tanθ=sinθ=0.04
so we need to find the metabolic power which is given as
P = F. vP=F.v
so here we have
F = mg sin\thetaF=mgsinθ
v = 5 km/h = 1.39 m/sv=5km/h=1.39m/s
now we have
P = (68)(9.81)(0.04)(1.39)P=(68)(9.81)(0.04)(1.39)
P = 37.089648 WattP=37.089648Watt
