A trailer from a minor road joins a major road traffic stream having a flow of 2000 veh/hr and a density of 18veh/km. The heavy traffic in the opposite stream makes it difficult for vehicle to overtake it once in the traffic stream. The trailer moves at a speed of 60Km/hr for stretch of 15km. The effect of the entry of the trailer into the traffic stream is an increase in the density of the traffic behind to 30 veh/Km. Determine the number of vehicles that will be in the traffic stream when the trailer eventually leaves

Question
A trailer from a minor road joins a major road traffic stream having a flow of 2000 veh/hr
and a density of 18veh/km. The heavy traffic in the opposite stream makes it difficult for
vehicle to overtake it once in the traffic stream. The trailer moves at a speed of 60Km/hr for
stretch of 15km. The effect of the entry of the trailer into the traffic stream is an increase in
the density of the traffic behind to 30 veh/Km. Determine the number of vehicles that will
be in the traffic stream when the trailer eventually leaves
