O Problem 3: A block with a mass of m = 25 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject
to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of
E = 8.5 N. The second has a magnitude of F, = 23.75 N and acts on the body at an angle 0 = 15°
measured from horizontal, as shown.

In the automobile industry, the dimensionless drag coefficient and the area of the vehicle are often combined into one variable - the drag
area whereby the drag area is the product of the dimensionless drag coefficient and the area (Drag Area = C*A). A Tesla has a drag area
of 0.46 m², whereas an SUV has a drag area of 2.45 m². Assuming the desity of air is equal to 1.21 kg/m^3, determine the amount of
energy consumed in overcoming drag for:
(a) A Tesla cruising at 120km/hr for 20km.
select units
(b) An SUV cruising at 120km/hr for 20km.

(c) A Tesla cruising at 90km/hr for 20km.

6) A railroad car which has a mass 9216 kg is constrained to move along a horizontal
track under the action of a wind blowing in the direction of the track. The frictional
resistance to the car motion is 1/200 of its weight. The force exerted by wind is
P=kSu?, where S is the area of the backside of the railroad car, equals to 6 m², and
u is the velocity of the wind relative to car, k=0.12. The absolute velocity of the
wind is w=12 m/s. The initial velocity of the railroad car is 0. Determine:
a) the maximum velocity vmax of the railroad car;
b) the time T taken to reach this velocity;
c) the distance x, travelled by the railroad car before reaching a velocity of 3 m/s.
