1. The distance travelled by a vehicle during perception-reaction time is 55.56m. If this vehicle is travelling on a 4% downhill road section with a design speed of 80 kph and a coefficient of friction with the tires of 0.35, what would be the braking distance required if the available stopping sight distance is 136.74m.?

While a car is moving with a speed 108 k on a straight road the driver sees a truck which enters the road 75m ahead. The driver applies full brake 0.5s after s/he observes the truck, however the car hits the truck with a speed of 50 k. Then what would be the maximum initial speed of car in when the driver observes the truck in order that the car does not hit the truck with all other conditions are the same?
