.) A tractor trailer experiences a broadside wind gust of 60 mph while travelling in winter. Assume air temperature to be 32 °F and standard atmospheric pressure. The trailer is standard size. 48 ft. long, 13.5 ft. high, 8.5 ft. wide. Calculate the force exerted by the wind on the trailer. (Note: You don't have the exact drag coefficient for this shape in the book. There are thus a couple of ways to solve this problem. You can make some reasonable assumptions about similarities in shape, or you can use an appropriate drag coefficient you have researched elsewhere. Bonus points if you make a comparison of the two.)
