A cyclist is able to obtain a maximum speed of 20 mph on a calm day. The total mass of the rider and bike is 90 kg. The rollingresistance for the tires (a constant force) is FR = 7.5N and the drag coefficient and frontal area are CD = 1.2 and A = 0.25m2.Assuming CD is constant, compare the power requirements and calculate the following:(A) What is the maximum speed that the cyclist can reach in a headwind of 5 mph? (ANS: V ∼ 15 mph)(B) In a tailwind of 5 mph?
