See Example 10. 135. Find the grade resistance, to the nearest ten pounds, for a 2100-lb car traveling on a 1.8° uphill grade. 136. Find the grade resistance, to the nearest ten pounds, for a 2400-lb car traveling on a -2.4° downhill grade. 137. A 2600-lb car traveling downhill has a grade resistance of -130 lb. Find the angle of the grade to the nearest tenth of a degree. 138. A 3000-lb car traveling uphill has a grade resistance of 150 lb. Find the angle of the grade to the nearest tenth of a degree. 139. A car traveling on a 2.7° uphill grade has a grade resistance of 120 lb. Determine the weight of the car to the nearest hundred pounds. 140. A car traveling on a -3° downhill grade has a grade resistance of -145 lb. Determine the weight of the car to the nearest hundred pounds. 141. Which has the greater grade resistance: a 2200-lb car on a 2° uphill grade or a 2000-lb car on a 2.2° uphill grade? 142. Complete the table for values of sinu, tanu, and pu 180 to four decimal places. U 0° 0.5° 1° 1.5° 2° 2.5° 3° 3.5° 4° sinU tanU PU 180 (a) How do sinu, tanu, and pu 180 compare for small grades u? (b) Highway grades are usually small. Give two approximations of the grade resistance F = Wsinu that do not use the sine function. (c) A stretch of highway has a 4-ft vertical rise for every 100 ft of horizontal run. Use an approximation from part (b) to estimate the grade resistance, to the nearest pound, for a 2000-lb car on this stretch of highway. (d) Without evaluating a trigonometric function, estimate the grade resistance, to the nearest pound, for an 1800-lb car on a stretch of highway that has a 3.75° grade.
