9702Equilibrium of forces

A car of mass m travels at constant speed up a slope at an angle θ to the horizontal, as shown in the diagram. Air resistance and friction provide a resistive force F. The acceleration of free fall is g. What is the force needed to propel the car at this constant speed?

  1. Amg cos θ
  2. Bmg sin θ
  3. Cmg cos θ + F
  4. Dmg sin θ + F
