A rear-wheel-drive car 2600 lb, has an 80-inch wheelbase, a center of gravity 20 inches above the road surface and 30 inches behind the front axle, a drivetrain efficiency of 85%, 14-inch-radius wheels, and an overall gear reduction of 8 to 1,
The car's torque/engine speed curve is given by Me = 6ne - 0.045ne2 If the car is on a paved , level roadway surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 0.75, determine its maximum acceleration from rest.
