Question
A 1100 kg passenger vehicle originally traveling on a straight and level road gets onto a
section of the road with a horizontal curve of radius 255 meter. Assume that the vehicle
is traveling at sea level and has a front cross-sectional area of 3.50 sq. m. If the vehicle
was originally traveling at 58 kph, calculate the following:
1. Additional horsepower on the curve the vehicle must produce to maintain the
original speed
2. Total resistance force on the vehicle as it traverses the horizontal curve
3. Total horsepower
