A vehicle has the following system parameter:

mass: 1500kg

front wheel rolling radius is 0.317m

rear wheel rolling radius is 0.325m

engine power is 202 kW @ 305rad/s

The car is rear wheel drive.

The mass of each wheel is 375.2 kg.

The distance between the rear driver's wheel and the center of mass is L/2, which is approximately 2.231m

The wheelbase is 2.975 m

the coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the roadway is 0.25

the maximum torque that can be applied evenly to the drive wheels such that the vehicle accelerates from rest without slipping is 596.2 N*m.

determine how long it takes the car to accelerate from rest to 100 km/h If 60% of the maximum torque is applied evenly to the drive wheels
