Question: To maintain a constant speed, the force provided by a car's engine must equal the drag force plus the force of friction of the road

To maintain a constant speed, the force provided by a car's engine must equal the drag force plus the force of friction of the road (the rolling resistance). Assume all values are accurate to three significant digits. (Assume the density of air is 1.21kgm3.)
(a) What is the magnitude of drag force (in N) at 76kmh and 122kmh for a Toyota Camry? (Drag area is 0.70m2, and drag coefficient is 0.28.)
