Solve the given applied problems involving variation.Wind resistance or atmospheric drag tends to slow down moving objects. Atmospheric drag varies jointly as an object's surface area A and velocity v. If a car traveling at a speed of 40 mph with a surface area of 37 ft2 experiences a drag of 192.4 N (Newtons), how fast must a car with 40 ft2 of surface area travel in order to experience a drag force of 291.2 N?
A. 53 mph B. 58 mph C. 61 mph D. 56 mph
