A car of weight 1.4×104N is moving up an inclined plane at a constant speed of 6.2 ms-1. The incline makes an angle of 5° to the horizon. A frictional force of 600 N acts on the car in a direction opposite to the velocity.

The power supplied by the car is 15 kW. Determine the efficiency of the car engine in pushing the car uphill.
