A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 36 km/h at the 76-m mark. He then maintains this speed for the next 61 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 31 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur? Finish line 39.9 m

Question
A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 36 km/h at the 76-m mark.
He then maintains this speed for the next 61 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 31 km/h at the finish line. Determine
the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value
occur?
