How can I calculate the drag force of a car on a hill?
Hi Sorry you asked for acceleration in your previous post and I gave you speed :redface: I am not given acceleration but I am told that it is on a hill that is 3.18 degrees to the horizontal. EDIT: Sorry I already mentioned that. It maintains a constant speed of 55mph.- philo2005

How can I calculate the drag force of a car on a hill?
Hi I am currently trying to work out the drag coefficient of a car, I know the formulae to work out CD, this being CD=FD/0.5xρv^2A. I can not figure out how to find FD as the formulae for this requires CD. Is there another way to find FD? The information I have is as follows: Car Mass: 1350 kg...- philo2005
