A \(100 \, \text{kg}\) person is riding a \(10 \, \text{kg}\) bicycle up a \(25^\circ\) hill. The hill is long and the coefficient of static friction is \(0.9\). The person rides \(10 \, \text{m}\) up the hill then takes a rest at the top. If she then starts from rest from the top of the hill and rolls down a distance of \(7 \, \text{m}\) before squeezing hard on the brakes locking the wheels, how much work is done by friction to bring the bicycle to a full stop, knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is \(0.65\)?
