The drag coefficient of a car at the design conditions of 1 atm, 25°C, and 90 km/h is to be determined experimentally in a large wind tunnel in a full-scale test. The height and width of the car are 1.25 m and 1.65 m, respectively. If the horizontal force acting on the car is measured to be 220 N, determine the total drag coefficient of this car

0.288

Explanation:

Given

Pressure of the car, P = 1 atm

Temperature of the car, T = 25° C

Speed of the car, v = 90 km/h = 90*1000/3600 = 25 m/s

Height of the car, h = 1.25 m

Width of the car, b = 1.65 m

Force acting on the far, F = 220 N

Drag coefficient, C(d) = ?

Using our table A-9, we can trace that the density of air ρ, at the given temperature and pressure of 25 °C and 1 atm, is 1.184 kg/m³

Area = h *b

Area = 1.25 * 1.65

Area = 2.0625 m²

Now we solve for the drag coefficient using the formula

C(d) = F / (1/2 * ρ * A * v²)

C(d) = 220 / (0.5 * 1.184 * 2.0625 * 25²)

C(d) = 220 / (1.221 * 625)

C(d) = 220 / 763.125

C(d) = 0.288

Therefore, the drag coefficient is 0.288

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
