A 2,900 lb passenger vehicle, with a front cross-sectional area of 45 ft', is traveling
on a road that has a 5% grade, gets into a section of the road with a horizontal curve
radius = 1300 ft. If the vehicle was traveling at 60 mph, determine (a) the additional
horsepower on the curve the vehicle must produce to maitain the original speed, (b)
the total resistance on the vehicle as it traverses the horizopntal curve and the total
horsepower. The density of air is 0.0766 lb/ft', the aerodynamic drag coefficient is
0.4, C 0.012, and Crv 0.65x10".
