Find the max speed of the bicycle

Reference no: EM13561585

A bicyclist travels on a level path. The frontal area of tje cyclist and the bicycle is 2 ft^2 and the drag coefficient is .8. The specific weight of aire is .075 lb/ft^3. The physiological limit of the power for this well trained cyclist is .5 hp (1hp=550 ft*lbs/s) Neglect rolling friction, find the max speed of the bicycle.
