Fluid Mechanics problem: A pickup truck has a clean drag area CDA of 35 ft2. Estimate the horsepower required to drive the truck at 55 mi/h (a) clean and (b) with the 3- by 6-ft sign in Fig. P7.88 installed if the rolling resistance is 150 lbf at sea level. Note: Power = Drag x velocity, Use Table 7.3 for drag coefficient for sign.

Skydiver Luke jumps with his parachute of diameter D = 12m out of an airplane. The combined mass of the parachute and Luke is 100 kg. The drag coefficient for the fully open parachute is C_{D} = 1.4 . Neglecting acceleration and considering a linear change of air density with altitude, estimate Luke's fall time between altitudes of 3000 m and 2000 m. For the density of air at these two altitudes, assume pair (3000m) = 1.0 kg/m³ and pair (2000m) = 1.1 kg/m³.
