2) Assume the vehicle shown. It has a projected area of 30 ft², a total weight of 1900 pounds, a rolling resistance of 0.019, and a drag coefficient of 0.60. Top end speed is 50 mph. a) Assuming 60 °F air, calculate power delivered to the wheels. A new engine and body mods are made such that there is now 250 hp at the wheels. The new engine weighs 200 lbf more than the old engine. The updated suspension and tires have a rolling resistance coefficient of 0.014 while the drag coefficient and projected areas drop to 0.32 and 20 ft² respectively. b) Calculate the expected maximum speed of this vehicle. c) Determine the fuel use of the last vehicle when traveling at its calculated maximum speed. Gasoline has an energy content of 36.7 kwh/gal and engine efficiency is 20%. Express in mpg
