A truck having projected area of 6.5 m² and travelling at 72 km/h has a total resistance of 1.6 kN. Out of this resistance, 30% is due to rolling, 20% due to surface friction and rest is due to drag. Calculate the coefficient of drag if specific weight of air is 12 N/m^3.

its drag polar is given by Cp
1.5. The reciprocating engine develops 750 kW at sea level, and the propulsive
efficiency of the engine-propeller combination is 0.85. Draw the power-available
and power-required curves at sea level. Determine the maximum and minimum
speeds for level flight at sea level. What is the minimum power required for level
flight at sea level? Determine the corresponding velocity and lift coefficient.

Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve toofast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve withfriction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendencyto slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in thedirection water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radiusR =200 m and bank angle u, where the coefficient of static frictionbetween tires and pavement is ms. A car (without negative lift) isdriven around the curve . (a) Find an expressionfor the car speed vmax that puts the car on the verge of slidingout. (b) On the same graph, plot vmax versus angle u for the range 0to 50, first for ms =0.60 (dry pavement) and then forms =0.050 (wet or icy pavement). In kilometers per hour, evaluatevmax for a bank angle of u =10 and for (c) ms 0.60 and (d) ms 0.050. (Now you can see why accidents occur in highway curveswhen icy conditions are not obvious to drivers, who tend to drive atnormal speeds.)
