A tourist driving in the Hijaz mountainous area of Saudi Arabia using an old Chevy car. His car's top speed is 100 kph with an accelgration of 4 ft/sec, a wt. of 3000 Ib. and a cross-sectional area of 4t x7ft. The roadway curves' radii range from 800-2000 ft with a posted max speed of 80 kph. The straight road sections have a posted max speed of 20 kThe road grades range from 10to +10%. What is the min engine power required to travel on the curves at max possible speed?

Question
A tourist driving in the Hijaz mountainous area of Saudi Arabia using an old Chevy car. His
car's top speed is 100 kph with an acceleration of 4 f/sec", a wt. of 3000 Ib. and a cross-sectional
area of 4t x7t. The roadway curves' radii range from 800- 2000 ft with a posted max speed of
80 kph. The straight road sections have a posted max speed of 20p The road grades range
from (10%to +10%. What is the min engine power required to travel on the curves at max
possible speed?
