Estimate the total frictional force acting on the car

Reference no: EM13540060

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted by the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 194hp, estimate the total frictional force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 31m/s. One horsepower equals 746W.
