The drag force, Fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity V is given by Fd= CdApV2/2where Ca is a constant called the drag coefficient, A is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and pis the air density. An automobile is moving at V = 60 miles per hour with Ca = 0.28, A = 27 ft2, and p = 0.075 Ib/ft³. Determine the force, in Ibf, and the power, in hp, required to overcome aerodynamic drag.

A three wheeled OTV has been designed such that the forces from the wheels and motors are uniform, hence the reaction forces at the point of contact with the upper surface can be modeled as a single vertical reaction support. The platform is a square with side length 200mm and has a thickness of 20mm. Plywood has a density of 0.3 g/cm^3. For the purposes of finding the platform weight, W, ignore any holes in the plywood for motor mounts. Due to a misscommunication in the team, the motor mounts M1, M2, and M3 were not attached symmetrically! The potential consequences of this are a difference in reaction forces at the platform to keep it balanced. This difference in reaction forces will result a different normal force at each wheel, and hence the potential for different traction forces, leading to an inability to drive the OTV straight.
