HW

For this homework assignment I wanted to try and see if I could find a correlation between a dragsters rear tire expansion in comparison to its velocity. To help me with my model I will me using the Army's dragster for some of my data. If you would like to check it out you can find it at [1].

Data: Outside tire diameter = 36.5" or up to 40.5" due to tire expansion Inside tire diameter = 16" Width of tire = 17" Air pressure in tire = 7 psi Volume of Tire = 9.82 ft^3 **(you have to add about 1.5ft^3 to account for possible expansion)** Fastest quarter mile time = 4.428 sec Fastest quarter mile speed = 337.58
