(b) A wind-tunnel experiment is performed on a small 1:5 linear-scale model of a car, in order to assess the drag force F on a new full-size car design. A dimensionless "drag coefficient" Ca is defined by C, =- pu'A where A is the maximum cross-sectional area of the car in the flow. With the model car, a force of 3 N was recorded at a flow velocity u of 6 m s. Assuming that flow conditions are comparable (i.e., at the same Reynolds number), calculate the expected drag force for the full-sized car when the flow velocity past it is 31 m s (equivalent to 70 miles per hour).
