Question
Chapter 2.7, Problem 1E
To determine
Why are aerodynamic drag coefficients of Formula One race cars typically much greater than for ordinary automobiles?
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Aerodynamic drag coefficient is considered as dimensionless quantity which is used to compute resistance or drag of an object in an aerodynamic or fluid environment. It is related with a specific surface area.
Formula One race cars were mainly designed to attain high top speeds and the key objective was to reduce the air drag. Although at top speeds, car develops a lift force that affects the stability of car.
Thus aerodynamic drag coefficients helps in minimizing drag, wind noise, and eliminating unnecessary lift forces at top speeds. Air is considered as fluid in this environment.

Each of the two vertical links CF connecting the two horizontal
members AD and EG has a 10 × 40-mm uniform rectangular cross
section and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in tension of
400 MPa, while each of the pins at C and F has a 20-mm diameter and
are made of a steel with an ultimate strength in shear of 150 MPa.

PROBLEM 1.51
Each of the steel links AB and CD is connected to a support and to
member BCE by 25-mm-diameter steel pins acting in single shear.
Knowing that the ultimate shearing stress is 210 MPa for the steel
used in the pins and that the ultimate normal stress is 490 MPa for
the steel used in the links, determine the allowable load P if an
overall factor of safety of 3.0 is desired. (Note that the links are not
reinforced around the pin holes.)
