A 770 kg car, with a 95 kg driver, is driving up a shallow hill of angle θ = 5° directly
into a strong headwind. The headwind exerts a force 200 N on the car. The coefficient of
rolling friction for the car on the road is 0.025. What force must the car’s engine produce
so that it travels at a constant velocity of 10 m/s.

A constant velocity means a=0 and therefor the net force = 0

so sum the forces and set equal to zero
Fc is the engine force

Fc-m*g*sin(θ)-
200-m*g*cos(θ)*0.025=0

m is the sum of the car plus the driver.
