    0.2289

    Explanation:

    Power required to climb = Fv where F is force and v is soeed. We know that F = mg hence Power, P = mgv and substituting 700 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 2.5 m/s for v then

    P = 700*9.81*2.5=17167.5 W = 17.1675 kW

    To express it as a fraction of 75 kw then 17.1675/75=0.2289 or 22.89%
