    This document provides various unit conversions and calculations related to vehicle mechanics. It converts between units of length, force, power, velocity and rpm. It then calculates the engine power of a vehicle moving at 70 mph to be 141979.04 W. Next, it determines the torque applied to the tires is 1844.625 N-m. Finally, it calculates the drag force on an F-150 vehicle moving at 70 mph to be 656.65 N, and the frictional force due to its weight of 20016.99 N to be 12410.5 N.
