Please Calculate the force of air resistance on the bucket and show your steps please.
prev A 100 kg chesterfield is pushed up a frictionless ramp at a constant speed by a delivery person. If the ramp is inclined at 25.7° to the horizontal, what horizontal force must the delivery person apply to the chesterfield?

At about 85mph, the HC is moving along at a fair clip so the wind speed and position in relation to the craft must be known.

It's simple trigonometry, do some vector diagrams so that you understand what is happening then convert it to an equation.
