17.
If A is the projected area of a vehicle in square metres, V is speed of the vehicles in kilometres per hour and C is a constant, then the wind resistance R to the moving vehicles, is given by
R = CAV
R = CAV2
R = CAV3
R = C2AV

R = CAV^2.
C = co-efficient of drag (0.6),
A = frontal Area of vehicle,
V = velocity of the vehicle.
C = co-efficient of drag (0.6),
A = frontal Area of vehicle,
V = velocity of the vehicle.

@Samm.
A is the transverse cross-sectional area of vehicle and v is the velocity of the vehicle.
So wind resistance is directly proportional to A and square of velocity constant C is introduced to have a relationship between R, A and V.

C is the constant.
In case does not mention to take 1 value.
