bicycle and rider with mass m rolls down a hill at constant velocity under the influence of gravity with negligible rolling resistance. The hill makes an angle of θ = 17 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The force of air resistance, termed "drag", has a magnitude of Fd = 79 N. Assume that the x-direction is parallel to the slope of the hill and the y-direction is perpendicular to the hill as shown. θ = 17°

θ = 17°
Fd = 79 N
a. What is the sum of the forces in the y direction, ΣFy in Newtons
b. Input an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction ΣFx in terms of the quantities given and variables avilable in the palette
c. Using the information above what is the total mass of the bike and rider m in kg
