Question:
Grumman Corp. has proposed to build a magnetic levitation train to operate at a top speed of \(300 \mathrm{mph}\). The vehicle is \(114 \mathrm{ft}\) long. Assuming that the sides and top can be treated approximately as a smooth flat plate of \(30 \mathrm{ft}\) width with a turbulent boundary layer. Calculate the drag force and the power expended to overcome the drag at the maximum speed.
