Question

Bill gets a job delivering pizzas. The pizza company
makes him mount a sign on the roof of his car. The
frontal area of the sign is A = 0.612 ft2, and he estimates
the drag coefficient to be CD = 0.94 at nearly all air speeds.
Estimate how much additional money it costs Bill per year in
fuel to drive with the sign on his roof compared to without
the sign. Use the following additional information: He drives
about 10,000 miles per year at an average speed of 45 mph.
The overall car efficiency is 0.332, rfuel = 50.2 lbm/ft3, and
the heating value of the fuel is 1.53 * 107 ft . lbf/lbm. The
fuel costs $3.50 per gallon. Use standard air properties. Be
careful with unit conversions.
