An advertisement shows a 1239 kg car slowly pulling at constant speed a large passenger airplane to demonstrate the power of its newly-designed 79.7 hp (horsepower) engine. During the pull, the car passed two landmarks spaced 22.0 meters apart in 15.3 seconds. The passenger plane being towed is a Boeing 707, with a total weight of 62.5 tons.

Calculate the force that opposes the motion. Assume that the efficiency of the car is such that 22.0% of the engine power is available to propel the car forward.
