In order to impress your neighbors and improve your vision in traffic jams, you decide to mount a cylindrical periscope 2.0 m high and 0.1 m in diameter on top of your car. You consult the literature and find that the drag coefficient (based on frontal area) is 1.1 for Re<200,000 (Re based on diameter) and drops to 0.35 for Re>200,000. Using this information, answer the three questions given. (HINT: make a sketch)The periscope's drag at your maximum speed of 75 mph is about:(A) 45 N(B) 4 N(C) 450 N(D) 5 N
