A 2650-lb car is traveling at sea level at a constant speed. its engine is running at 4500 rev/min and is producing 175 ft-lb of torque. it has a drivetrain efficiency of 90%, a drive axle slippage of 2%, 15 - inch-radius wheels, and an overall gear reduction ratio of 3 to 1. if the car's frontal area is 21.5 ft 2, what is its drag coefficient?

    The drag coefficient is given by

    C = ((F - fW) * 2) / (A*V*V*r)

    V = speed of the vehicle = 192.42

    f = cofficient of rolling resistance = 0.0231

    F = traffic effort = 378

    r = density of air = 0.002378

    A = frontal area of the vehicle = 21.5

    W = weight of the vehicle = 2650

    by substituting all the values in the above equation

    drag coefficient = C = 0.167
