    Answer:

    a) 1.73*10^5 J

    b) 3645 N

    Explanation:

    106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s

    If KE = PE, then

    mgh = 1/2mv²

    gh = 1/2v²

    h = v²/2g

    h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81

    h = 864.36 / 19.62

    h = 44.06 m

    Loss of energy = mgΔh

    E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 – 21.5)

    E = 7651.8 * 22.56

    E = 172624.6 J

    Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J

    Work done = Force * distance

    Force = work done / distance

    Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)

    Force = 172624.6 / 47.36

    Force = 3645 N
