Problem
If an airplane is moving at velocity
v
, the drag
D
(in N ) on the plane is
D=av2+bv2
, where
a=5.[a]0×10−3
and
b=3.0[e]×108
. Find the value(s) of
v
(in km/h), for which the drag is the least. Round the answer to one decimal place. Both coefficients,
a
a and
b
b, already account for the unit conversion (from m/s to km/h).
Example: if
[a]=2
, then
5.[a]0=5.20
, and if
[e]=7
, then
a=5
e=9
