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
Rolling Resistance: 400 N
Cross Sectional Area: 2.2 m^2
Density of Air: 1.23 kg m^-3
Hill Gradient: 3.18 degrees
I would greatly apprecitate any help offered as I am now completely stumped.
Thanks
