Question

A tractor-trailer truck has a drag area CDA = 8 m2 bare and
6.7 m2 with an aerodynamic deflector (Fig. 7.18b). Its rolling
resistance is 50 N for each mile per hour of speed.
Calculate the total horsepower required at sea level with
and without the deflector, if the truck moves at (a) 55 mi/h
and (b) 75 mi/h.
