Estimate the horsepower required to accelerate a 2,500-lb vehicle traveling 30 mph up a 5% grade at the rate of 6 ft/sec². The vehicle has a frontal cross-sectional area of 20 ft2. The roadway has a straight alignment and a badly broken and patched asphalt surface Assume the drag coefficient = 0.3 and a rolling resistance =34 Use the following: (a) Inertia resistance, F, =? (compute) (b) Grade resistance, F =? (compute) (c) Rolling resistance, F, = 34 lb (d) Curve resistance, F = 0 (e) Air resistance; Use the formula :F= 0.0006AV² (f) Horsepower
