Wind Resistance or Atmospheric Drag Tends to Slow Down Moving $\mathrm{v}$

Multiple Choice

Wind resistance or atmospheric drag tends to slow down moving objects. Atmospheric drag varies jointly as an object's surface area A and velocity $\mathrm{v}$ . If a car traveling at a speed of $60 \mathrm{mph}$ with a surface area of $31 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ experiences a drag of $316.2 \mathrm{~N}$ (Newtons) , how fast must a car with $36 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ of surface area travel in order to experience a drag force of $330.48 \mathrm{~N}$ ?

A) $51 \mathrm{mph}$
B) $54 \mathrm{mph}$
C) $56 \mathrm{mph}$
D) $59 \mathrm{mph}$
