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.

The differential equation of a cruise control system is provided by the following equation:
Find the closed loop transfer function with respect to the reference velocity (vr) .
a. Find the poles of the closed loop transfer function for different values of K. How does the poles move as you change K?
b. Find the step response for different values of K and plot in MATLAB. What can you observe?
a box shaped barge 37m long, 6.4 m beam, floats at an even keel draught of 2.5 m in water density 1.025 kg/m3. If a mass is added and the vessel moves into water density 1000 kg/m3, determine the magnitude of this mass if the fore end and aft end draughts are 2.4m and 3.8m respectively.
a ship 125m long and 17.5m beam floats in seawater of 1.025 t/m3 at a draught of 8m. the waterplane coefficient is 0.83, block coefficient 0.759 and midship section area coefficient 0.98.
