- A truck experiencing drag is able to reach a maximum velocity of v₁ = 30.5 m/s. It has cross-sectional area A₁ = 1.6 m^2 and coefficient of drag CD,1 = 0.86. The city is having a parade and you want to use your truck as a float. After fitting your truck with signs and posters, the new cross-sectional area is A₂ = 3.3 m^2, and the coefficient of drag has increased to CD,2 = 1.38. What is the new maximum speed of your truck?
