A rear-wheel drive vehicle is traveling at 57 mi/hr on a level surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 0.79. The car has a 14 in wheel radius and a wheel base of 120 in. It has a center of gravity 23 in above the roadway surface and 40 in behind the front axle. Assume that C₂-0.3, A- 20 ft², W= 2,345 lbs and a = 0.002 slugs/ft³. If the car produces an engine generated tractive effort of 609 lb, what is the acceleration of the car in ft/sec² (assume ym is 1)?

Question
A rear-wheel drive vehicle is traveling at 57 mi/hr on a level surface with a coefficient
of adhesion of 0.79. The car has a 14 in wheel radius and a wheel base of 120 in. It
has a center of gravity 23 in above the roadway surface and 40 in behind the front
axle. Assume that C₂-0.3, A-- 20 ft², W= 2,345 lbs and a = 0.002 slugs/ft³. If the
car produces an engine generated tractive effort of 609 lb, what is the acceleration of
the car in ft/sec² (assume y, is 1)?
