Problem 2: A car weighs 2200 lb and is traveling 100mih on a race track that is on a 3%
upgrade. The car is preparing to pass a slower car and its torque/engine speed curve is given by
the equation,
Me=8ne-0.05ne2
with Me in ft-lb and ne in revolutions per second. Drivetrain efficiency is 90%, drive axle
slippage is 2%, wheel radius is 15 inches, frontal area is 22ft2, drag coefficient is 0.35, and air
density is 0.0022 slugs ?ft3. If the car is in a gear that produces maximum torque, what would
the car's maximum acceleration be?
