A prototype automobile is designed to travel at 65 km/hr. A model of this design is tested in a

wind tunnel with identical standard sea-level air properties at a 1:5 scale. The measured model
drag is 400 N, enforcing dynamic similarity. Determine (a) the drag force on the prototype and (b) Continue to post
the power required to overcome this drag. See Eq. 7.19.
