A 1300 kg passenger vehicle originally traveling on a straight and level road gets onto a section of the road with a horizontal curve of radius 260 meters. Assume that the vehicle is traveling at sea level and has a front cross-sectional area of 3.50 sq. m. If the vehicle was originally traveling at 60 kph, calculate the following: 1. Additional horsepower on the curve the vehicle must produce to maintain the original speed 2. Total resistance force on the vehicle as it traverses the horizontal curve 3. Total horsepowe
