(a)
An equation for the speed which Joe can pedal into the wind.

Answer to Problem 7.59P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Joe pedals his bike at
The rolling resistance is equal to
The drag area is
Weight of Joe is
Weight of bike is
The speed of headwind is
The rolling force
Where,
The air drag is defined as,
Where,
The power is defined as,
Calculation:
Evaluate the total force,
For drag force the relative velocity is equal to,
Substitute for forces,
Calculate the power,
Substitute for total force,
Evaluate the power required without head wind,
But, we can say the power output will be same at both occasions,
Therefore,
Solve further,
Conclusion:
The equation for the speed at which Joe has to ride into the wind can be given as,
(b)
Speed

Answer to Problem 7.59P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Joe pedals his bike at
The rolling resistance is equal to
The drag area is
Weight of Joe is
Weight of bike is
The speed of headwind is
According to sub-part A,
We have found a cubic equation for speed
In above equation,
Assume, the air at
Calculation:
The cubic equation for speed
Substitute given values,
Solve further,
Therefore,
Conclusion:
Joe should ride at
(c)
The reason the result is not simplified

Answer to Problem 7.59P
Since,
We cannot able to estimate that,
Explanation of Solution
