A car is moving at a speed of 72 km/hr on road having 2% upward gradient. The driver applies brakes when he sees an obstruction. If his reaciton time is 1.5 seconds, assuming that the co-efficient of friction between the pavement and tyre as 0.15, calculate the distance traversed before the car finally stops.
