without working anything out.... 350 newtons drag must equal output from drive wheels for car to remain at constant velocity, drag = 700, drive must equal 700 2 wheels => 350 per wheel

700 newtons. if the car were accelerating then there would need to be more, but at a constant speed the car must only put in an equal amount of force to that of the drag.
