Answer:
1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N
2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N
Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg
The mass of the cargo = 12 kg
1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity
∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N
2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N
Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
And.. where is the rest of the question?
