1. An airplane weighs 36,000 lb. and has a wing area of 450 fte. The drag equation is C, =0.014 + 0.05C} . It is
desired to equip this airplane with turboprop engines with available power such that a maximum speed of
602.6 mph at sea level can be reached. The available power is assumed to be independent of flight speed.
Calculate the maximum rate of climb and the speed at which it occurs.
Given:
W = 36,000 lb

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.
7. A 2700-lb car is traveling @ sea level at a constant speed. Its engine is running at 4500
rev/min. and is producing 175 ft-lb of torque. It has a drivetrain efficiency of 90%, a drive
axle slippage of 2%, 15-inch-radius wheels, and an overall gear reduction ratio of 3 to 1. If
the car's frontal area is 21.5 ft, what is its drag coefficient?
