How much horsepower would a Challenger SRT® Hellcat RedeyeWidebody need to tow the SS Delphine up the industry standard:Davis Dam Grade Climb? Pro Tips Davis Dam assumed grade = 7% Airdensity is sea level conditions (.002377 slugs/f^t3) w(weight) ofthe SS Delphine + trailer + Redeye = 3,922,000 + 150,000 + 4451 LbsCrr = coefficient of rolling resistance = .015 Assume Combined CDAis 1555 ft^2 SAE J2807 (Davis Dam Grande Climb) - min speed is40mpg (59 ft/s) F(drag) = 1/2p x V^2 x C(d)A F(rolling resistance)= W x cos x Crr F(weight) = W x sin F(sum) = F(drag) + F(rr) +F(weight) P = F(sum)XV convert to horsepower = P(1hp/550ftlbf/sec)
